A studio service
Slush decks for twenty meetings in two days.
Next: 18–19 November 2026, Helsinki. Slush is a matchmaking engine with a conference around it. Most founders never see a stage — they arrive with a schedule of back-to-back investor meetings booked weeks earlier, and show the same deck twenty times across two days in Helsinki. That is a different document from a stage pitch, and it is the one we build.

N° 01What matchmaking demands
Four things a stage deck gets wrong here.
01
It is read, not performed
A laptop turned sideways across a small table. Nobody is narrating from a stage, so the slides have to carry their own explanation — the opposite of the near-wordless deck that works in front of an audience.
02
They ask first
A booked investor has read your one-liner and arrives with a question. The deck has to be enterable at any slide, because your carefully built order will survive roughly none of these meetings.
03
Twenty times in two days
By meeting fifteen you are exhausted and the deck is doing more of the work. Build so it holds up when your delivery does not — which mostly means the slides make the argument, not your energy.
04
Generalists, on deep tech
Nordic and Baltic deep tech is strongly represented, and the hard part is making a real technical advantage legible to a generalist in two minutes without flattening it into marketing.
N° 02What we build
The meeting deck and what follows it.
01
The investor meeting deck
Ten to twelve slides, navigable out of order, with an appendix reachable in a click for the question you hoped they would ask.
02
The competition deck
If you are pitching on stage as well, that is a separate, shorter, near-wordless build — a backing track for a performance rather than a document.
03
The follow-up deck
What you send afterwards, read with nobody explaining it. Different job again, and the one most founders forget until the day after.
N° 03Who this is for
Seed to Series B, mostly European.
01
Nordic and Baltic deep tech
Where the technology is genuinely the moat and the risk is a deck that either oversimplifies it or drowns a generalist in it.
02
AI and hardware companies
Heavily represented, and competing for attention with everyone else claiming the same category. Specificity is the whole differentiator.
03
Founders with a full meeting schedule
Twenty-plus booked meetings and a fixed date is the clearest possible reason to have the deck finished early rather than the night before.

Questions
The answers we give most often.
- How is a Slush deck different from a stage pitch deck?
- Slush is built on pre-scheduled one-to-one matchmaking. Most founders never touch a stage — they run twenty-plus back-to-back VC meetings. That deck is read on a laptop, entered wherever their first question lands, and shown many times over two days.
- How many slides for a matchmaking meeting?
- Ten to twelve plus an appendix. The meeting is short and driven by their questions, so structure matters more than length — any slide might be the first one you show.
- When should we start?
- Schedules firm up in the weeks before, which is when founders learn how many meetings they have — and the wrong moment to start building. Earlier is calmer and cheaper.
- We are deep tech. Does that change the deck?
- Yes. The hard part is making a real technical advantage legible to a generalist investor in two minutes without flattening it into marketing. That is a design problem as much as a writing one.
- Worth a deck if we're only exhibiting?
- The meetings are the reason to go and happen whether or not you exhibit. If you have booked meetings you need a meeting deck. If you have not, a deck is not your first problem.
- Do you work on other startup conferences?
- Yes — TechCrunch Disrupt among them. Note that a Disrupt stage deck and a Slush meeting deck are genuinely different documents, not one file reused.
