Nothing beats summer here up North ☀️ We’re taking a breather by soaking up the sun and enjoying the vibrant summer vibes of Helsinki. From leisurely strolling around the stunning Suomenlinna island to cooling off with a scoop (or three) at our favorite ice cream kiosk, Helsinki is the perfect place to recharge 🌊🍨 Most of you probably know Helsinki from our bustling event in Nov, but have you seen our city basking in summer glory? Let us know 😉

Last month, Windhoek Slush'D brought the Namibian startup ecosystem together under one roof (or actually, on the stage of the National Theater of Namibia) 🇳🇦 The day included amazing pitches, local and international success stories, and engaging discussions from the audience like we haven't seen in a long time. Among the 10 great pitches from aspiring local startups, YYeni AI was crowned as the winner. YYeni provides a platform where an AI teacher delivers the lesson to each learner in a personalized way 💡 Thank you to everyone who joined 🧡

Who do you think should be onstage at Slush 2024? Extra points if you let us know why. Oh yeah, by the way, almost 70% of all our Attendee Passes to Slush are gone, 5 months before Slush even happens. You know what that means—you'll need to move fast to get yours: slush.org/tickets
