Pirates of Impact: The Drop Edition
⚓️ Pirates of Impact is back this fall - after our Slush success.
This September, we’re bringing the pirate spirit to Malmö for the first time - a rebellious gathering of 40 impact-driven founders, investors, and ecosystem shapers.
No panels. No pitches. No performative networking.
Just real, human connections that move beyond small talk with spicy margaritas!
Why attend our Pirate event:
Delicious dinner & drinks onboard a pirate ship
Take a breath and re-fuel in between all the meetings and people
Meet unique peers and investors
Have fun!
What previous participants are saying:
‘’Your curation of the event was fantastic, and the intimacy of our dinner after the excitement of the trade show was remarkable’’
‘’It was incredibly inspiring to be surrounded by likeminded people founders who commit their passion and energy to making a positive impact on the world’’
‘’What a great, cosy and focused event you have organised - love everyone I have met’’.
Message from the organisers:
"Pirates of Impact is more than just a networking event – it's a journey toward deeper connections, shared purpose, and collective action. We're creating a space where modern day changemakers can recharge, dream big, and collaborate to shape a more inclusive and sustainable future."
– Karolina Mazetyte & Victoria Sandberg 🏴☠️ 🦜
We’re curating a very special experience designed for deep, human connections. Creating the right mix of values-aligned founders, investors, and changemakers who are ready to show up with honesty, curiosity, and generosity.
When the right people are in the room, real magic happens. ✨
