A well anticipated happening, world’s leading startup event and the only reason Helsinki is filled with tourists in November – Slush 2018 is just around the corner! Slush 100 Pitching Competition traditionally highlights the early stage founders and ideas that would later receive a great deal of attention from investors, media, partners, potential co-founders, fellow entrepreneurs, industry leaders and future team members. We took a look at Slush100 Startups announced for this year – some of the early-stage companies founded only 1-3 years ago, already show a steady revenue stream, ready product-market-fit or large sums raised.
