Slush week moves fast. Deals, meetings, side events, and a calendar that fills up before you know it. ArcticStartup is making room for one thing worth getting up for: breakfast with fellow investors at Finlandia Hall.
On Tuesday, 17 November, ArcticStartup is bringing together Nordic and international VCs, business angels, corporate investors, family offices and LPs for an Investor Breakfast from 08:30 to 11:00. The best part? You can head straight to Slush Investor Day afterwards. Same building, no extra commute.
Think good coffee, new faces and conversations that might turn into something bigger than a LinkedIn connection.
Less small talk. More investment talk.
Whether you know the Nordic startup scene inside out or are looking to get a foot in the door, this is a chance to meet investors beyond your usual circle.
Compare investment theses, find potential co-investors, swap perspectives on the market and discover who else is looking at the opportunities you’re interested in. No packed conference agenda to race through—just time to talk, make introductions and see where the conversation goes.
The morning kicks off with breakfast and mingling at 08:30, followed by a short welcome from Arctic15. From 09:10 onwards, the floor is yours for investor networking and conversations with the ArcticStartup team.
Help decide what the startup scene talks about next
There’s another reason to stop by: we’re already thinking about what’s next for Arctic15 and NORDEEP.
Which investment trends deserve more attention? Who has a perspective the industry needs to hear? What conversations are missing from the stage?
We’ll be meeting potential speakers and collecting ideas for both events. If you have a story, an investment thesis or a topic you’d like to see explored, come tell us. It’s also a chance to discuss speaking opportunities, partnerships and ways to get more involved in the community.
Two events. A lot of ground to cover.
ArcticStartup is behind two platforms bringing capital, companies and cutting-edge technology closer together.
Arctic15: Where startup connections get down to business.
Returning to Helsinki on 16–17 June 2027, Arctic15: The Growth Edition will bring together startups, investors and corporate partners, with six dedicated summits spanning defence tech, deep tech, life sciences, LPs, water and the blue economy, and SUPERSONIC. The 2026 edition facilitated more than 15,000 meetings, bringing together participants from 60+ countries, including 565 investors and 65 LPs representing €1.4 trillion in assets under management.
NORDEEP: Where deep tech meets the people who can move it forward.
From quantum computing and photonics to AI, robotics, advanced materials, energy and defence, NORDEEP connects deep tech ventures and research with investors and industry. Its 2026 edition in Espoo welcomed 1,752 participants from 50+ countries, including 175 investors and representatives of 20 universities and research institutes across four continents.
