FINNISHING SLUSH 2026 – An exclusive breakfast event with ALL the Finnish venture capital funds
For the first time at Slush, the WHOLE FINNISH VC/CVC community comes together to introduce the country’s investor ecosystem collectively to international late-stage venture funds and prospective LPs.
FINNISHING SLUSH ’26 brings together all the 35 Finnish VC/CVC funds for a relaxed Day 2 breakfast designed to make the right conversations happen.
After full days (and nights) of Slush, with limited amount of energy and voice left, we invite you to our detox-mingle. Expect a distinctly Finnish experience: calm atmosphere, good breakfast, short introductions, and thoughtfully facilitated connections.
We’ll kick things off with a snapshot of the Finnish investment landscape, hear from one of Finland’s leading technology founders, and introduce the Finnish VC collective through a fast-paced, entertaining format.
Our team will help international LPs and late-stage GPs identify and meet the Finnish funds most relevant to them—making it easier to spend less time searching and more time having useful conversations.
The participants will also receive pre-materials curated by HelsinkiPartners, which has the widest network of GPs and LPs in Finland.
Who should join?
International late-stage investors (Series B and beyond), growth investors, and LPs interested in discovering and connecting with the Finnish venture ecosystem.
