During fall 2020 we gathered our community together online three times for a series of highly curated mentoring sessions, workshops as well as firesides, and keynotes delivered by the brightest minds of the startup world. Get to know our previous speakers before we are back with more community events in early 2021.

Frequently asked questions
What is Node by Slush?
Node by Slush is a curated community created in order to facilitate new connections between startups, investors, and ecosystem builders.
These connections can help startups to:
- Raise funding
- Land customers
- Develop business partnerships
- Get peer-support from other startup founders and operators who are sharing their pain points
- Get mentoring from experienced people in their field
The community is powered by a platform with features that enable creating new connections and engaging with them, every single day.
- Personal profiles, company pages, and search & filtering allow members to build their presence, discover, and be discovered.
- Direct messaging, discussion forums, and feed posts enable connecting, learning, sharing, and collaborating within the community.
- What makes Node by Slush different, is our focus on curation and facilitating the connections through monthly community events featuring the brightest startup minds. These gatherings include intimate mentoring sessions, workshops, keynotes, and fireside chats.
Moreover, our role extends far beyond the monthly events: our team is working relentlessly behind-the-scenes to identify mutual interests and relevant opportunities within the community and bring members together to explore them every day, week, and month.
Who is the community for?
Node by Slush is created for startups and investors and the membership requires an application. Companies and individuals that fit the following definitions of these three categories can apply for membership.
Startups
Startup membership is for the founders and operators of young, often tech-driven, companies aiming for rapid growth with a scalable business model.
Investors
Investor membership is for investors who make direct investments in startups or venture capital funds – VCs, CVCs, Angels, LPs, and M&A Investors.
We accept applications by hand and assess them case-by-case to ensure that the members of the community are relevant to each other. Once your application has been accepted, you can buy the membership. Please remember that memberships are personal and each person from your company needs their own membership to be able to access the community.
How do I benefit from the community?
Node by Slush is all about facilitating new connections that help startups to:
- Raise funding
- Land new customers
- Develop business partnerships
- Get support from their peers
- Be mentored by seasoned experts
If you are not a startup founder but on the other side of any of these equations, Node by Slush is your direct access to the most promising early-stage companies. The community offers you up-to-date data on the member startups, efficient ways to find the ones that align with your interests, and meaningful ways to build a relationship with them.
Who are the mentoring sessions and investor workshops for?
Mentoring sessions and investor workshops are in the first phase directed only for the startup members of the community.
We focus on curated sessions and workshops that provide the participants with opportunities to interact. Our approach requires ensuring the right fit for each session for all the participants, and that’s why most sessions and workshops are behind a request to join.
We actively recommend sessions and workshops for all the startup members based on their needs, so that they don’t have to worry about missing out on any of the opportunities to make new connections.
