Slush 2022 | Slush | 16 November 2022 | Messukeskus Helsinki, Messuaukio 1, 00520 Helsinki, Finland

Slush is bringing the global startup ecosystem under one roof. In cold, dark November, a curated group of speakers from across the globe, showcases, and unique networking opportunities will all be in Helsinki. With hundreds of Side Events happening across the city throughout the Slush Week, the fun flows out and into the streets.

This year, we decided to fix Matchmaking at the event and set the world’s best meeting experience as our North Star goal. Today, we are proud to present you with the best Matchmaking Tool we’ve ever built.

So get in there and build your funding round, discover the investment no one is looking at yet, and find leads, customers, users, advisors, and mentors.

Go make some matches!
