The BACKED Party at Slush 2026

This year, our 9th edition of this tech investor gathering at Slush, we’ve decided to create the world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You spend all year building things other people called impossible. For one night, let us return the favour. At 9pm, at Day 1 of Slush, the gates of The BACKED Party swing open. What’s inside, we couldn’t possibly say. Only that there will be more than a few marvellous creations. This year’s fellow chocolatiers are AWS, Erevena, Goodwin, Stripe and Snowflake. They’re the ones who keep the river flowing! This year we're inviting applications. Our team will review and let you know if you have won a golden ticket. Play nicely. Signing up on the slush website doesn’t constitute an application - all applications only via our event link: gatsby.events ↗
