🎟️ A Slush side event. No Slush ticket needed to attend.
Tuesday morning of Slush week. Before the main stage, before the side events, before a proper coffee.
What is Thaw? Pullakahvit is the Finnish ritual of coffee and pulla, the cardamom bun. We're bringing it to Slush: a relaxed morning in central Helsinki, in a small room curated by the Techstars investment team, so the people who should meet this week are in the same place. Venue details are shared with approved guests.
For founders: unhurried time with seed and Series A investors who are in town to meet companies, in a room where every guest has been approved, rather than a crowded hallway.
For investors: a curated room of pre-seed to Series A founders from across Europe, including Techstars-backed companies, in one room before the Slush rush. High signal, low noise.
What to expect☕ Coffee, pulla and breakfast🤝 A curated room, every guest approved one by one🚫 No slides, no panels📍 Central Helsinki, shared on approval
