Slush, a new event for startups by startup taking place in Helsinki, Finland is coming to town 24th November and I wanted to give you guys a heads up. I am organizing the event with Helene of Zipipop, Kaitsu of Floobs and Peter of Mobile Monday, but that’s not why I want you to sign up. I want you to sign up because I know it’s going to rock!
Despite the gloom and doom with the economy that Jason Calacanis of Mahalo is predicting and despite the fact that Taneli Tikka is telling everyone to go back to school, I myself am up beat about the future and especially up beat about the future in Helsinki. Slowly but surely, startup culture is starting to take traction in Helsinki (at least that’s what I believe) and people around me are starting to say ‘Hey, maybe it’s worth trying to do something I have always wanted to and dreamed of’.
If you’re one of those people brave enough to believe in yourself (or even curious to meet some of who do) come on up and meet the rest of us at Slush. You’re most welcome!

Here’s a link to a blog post I wrote about Slush for ArcticStartup weblog which I run with three great minds, namely Antti, Miikka and Karri.
And here’s a link (In Finnish) to a Digitoday.fi article about Slush, Finnish entrepreneurship and about how we entrepreneurs are building our own culture here in Helsinki. For everybody who I have the pleasure to work with on this important cause, Thank you!
