Day 0 Founders Lunch

Missed a seat? Join us for coffee instead. We’re also hosting the Day 0 Founders Coffee during Slush week, same crowd, same no-fluff conversations, and there are still spots open. Register here → platform.slush.org ↗ 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 (getkantis.com ↗) — trust & compliance infrastructure for startups selling into enterprise. Co-host Partner with us to host the Day 0 Founders Lunch during Slush week. Includes co-host branding on the event page, a short welcome at the start, 1 seat at the table, and the post-event attendee list. No pitches — the table stays founder-first. Limited to 2 partners; price agreed with the host, approval required. Sponsor Support a founder-first lunch for B2B software and AI founders the day before Slush.
