This year, Slush 2024 brought together over 13,000 attendees, including 3,300 investors and 5,000+ startups. As the world’s largest venture capital gathering—for the third consecutive year—the atmosphere was electric. For the epicMeets team, this event wasn’t just another stop on our journey; it was a key milestone that reaffirmed our mission to transform meetings for the better.
At our booth, we were thrilled to introduce our revolutionary solutions:
Over the course of the event, we had 150+ meaningful conversations with individuals and teams eager to tackle one of today’s biggest business challenges: unproductive meetings. The enthusiasm we encountered was overwhelming, from investors and startup founders to students brimming with ideas.
One particularly memorable highlight was a visit from Slack founder Cal Henderson, who stopped by our booth for a valuable conversation. It was an inspiring moment to exchange insights with someone who has already reshaped how teams collaborate.
Slush 2024 wasn’t just about presenting our innovations—it was also about soaking in the energy of the next generation of innovators. We were deeply inspired by the entrepreneurial drive of everyone we met, from 17-year-old volunteers to university students who approached us with bold ideas and genuine enthusiasm.
A fun and energizing moment came when Robin reconnected with the younger Robin Gustafsson (yes, there’s another one at Aalto University in Finland!). They even swapped badges for a while, capturing the creative and fearless energy that Slush is known for.
At Slush, it became clear that we’re addressing a critical pain point in today’s workplace: meetings that fail to deliver value. Businesses struggle with too many meetings, low engagement, poor preparation, and lack of follow-ups. While scheduling tools and transcripts have made meetings easier to set up, they haven’t addressed how to make meetings engaging, interactive, and meaningful.
Our solution resonated with attendees. We agreed on tens of demos, had productive conversations with investors, and received incredible feedback on how epicMeets can transform meetings. The momentum we gained at Slush is already propelling us forward—we’re diving into the next steps as early as this week! 🚀
Slush isn’t just an event; it’s a momentum builder. The days were both exhilarating and exhausting, leaving us more confident than ever. If we had even the slightest doubt about being on the right path, it’s gone now.
A huge thank you to our incredible epicMeets team—Nanna Ruotsalainen, Nikolai Denissov, Robin Gustafsson, and Thomas Tuominen—who kept the energy alive throughout the event. Your dedication made all the difference.
As we gear up for the launch of our software in just a few weeks, we’re reminded of why we started this journey: to end the cycle of bad meetings. With smart guidance, enhanced engagement, and instant feedback, epicMeets is here to make meetings matter again.
Here’s to innovation, inspiration, and rocking the world. Let’s make it happen! 🌟
