​Built for IPO? Start your Slush day on the beach. 🏖️

​Forget the usual hotel lobby coffee. Join Start2 Group and SAP for Startups for a curated breakfast with growth-stage founders and CFOs, on a warm indoor beach at 26°C while Helsinki freezes outside.

​What does it really take to build a company ready to go public?

​We're excited to welcome Dr. Gero Decker, co-founder of Signavio, as our guest speaker!

​Signavio was preparing for an IPO before being acquired by SAP in 2021. Gero will share firsthand lessons from that journey — what it takes to prepare for public markets, the decisions along the way, and what happens when the path takes an unexpected turn.

​SAP for Startups will also share practical insights into the systems and processes that help companies prepare for their next stage of growth.

​Good conversations, great company, and a little summer warmth before the Slush rush begins!
