Day 0 Founders Lunch @ Slush 2026
Update: we’re full. Over 120 founders and technical leaders have registered for the Day 0 Founders Lunch — thank you for the incredible response! To keep the table high-signal, we’re now restricting new applications.
Missed a seat? Join us for coffee instead. We’re also hosting the Day 0 Founders Coffee @ Slush, same crowd, same no-fluff conversations, and there are still spots open. Register here →
Landing in Helsinki for Slush? Before the evening flagship parties kick off, join a small group of B2B software and AI founders for a casual, no-fluff lunch in central Helsinki.
No panels. No sponsored pitches. Just founders talking through real scaling challenges — enterprise sales cycles, closing European vs. US buyers, technical bottlenecks, and surviving Helsinki in November.
How it works:
Format: Informal meetup, one long table. Starting point is Kortteli, Kamppi's dining floor — great individual kitchens (street food, Asian, salads, burgers, coffee), everyone grabs what they fancy and sits down together. If we get a strong response, we'll upgrade to a private space — you'll hear about it either way.
Guest list: Capped at limited number of founders and technical leaders. Approval required to keep the table high-signal.
Host: Misha Kushka, Founder at Kantis — trust & compliance infrastructure for startups selling into enterprise.
