Slush Launches Year-Round Platform ‘Slush Online’ to Connect Early-Stage Startups with Investors and Mentors
Slush Online builds on Slush’s mission to help and create founders to change the world, offering a digital platform that keeps the ecosystem connected beyond the annual Slush event.
Slush Online is a growing platform of 3,000+ European founders and 400+ investors. The platform offers 50+ yearly events, including Matchmaking Sprints, Mentoring Sessions, and Investor Office Hours, where founders can meet VCs for fundraising and get practical guidance on scaling and achieving product-market fit. With the launch, the number of users is set to double.
Slush Online is built on the foundations of Node by Slush, an online platform for startup founders launched in 2020. The platform has hosted mentors such as Cal Henderson, Co-founder of Slack, Miki Kuusi, Co-founder of Wolt, and Anastasia Zdoroviak, VP of Customer Experience at Rappi.
With the launch of Slush Online, the year-round online events and matchmaking becomes available to all startups and VC investors coming to Slush—making Slush Online the world’s largest database of self-submitted data on startups and an online platform for meetings between startups and investors.
Matchmaking Sprints have connected me with VCs—no warm introductions needed, which is a rarity. Usually, I’d have to attend events or know someone for a chance to meet investors, but Slush Online opens doors I wouldn’t otherwise reach.

Investor-Focused Tools for Deal Sourcing
Slush Online isn’t just for founders—it’s also designed to help investors source promising early-stage deals at the top of their funnel. In addition to Matchmaking Sprints and Investor Office Hours, VCs can use the Startup Database to discover and track startup progress.
I use Slush Online to quickly scan and find startups I wouldn’t see elsewhere. The startups report their own information, so I’m able to trust that it’s accurate. It’s also just useful to see information I wouldn’t get through our other sourcing tools, like pitch decks or runway.

All Slush startup and investor ticket holders have access to Slush Online on the Slush Platform.
