We’re happy to announce the partnership between dotopen and Slush!
Ever heard of Linux, MySQL or IRC? Nokia ring a bell? All of them came from the slush… Could it be that slush is the missing ingredient? At least you will not find much of it in Silicon Valley. Or in any of the other wannabe Silicon Valleys. You will find many new companies in the slush that you never heard of. Most of them built by entrepreneurs with names you can’t pronounce.
Slush Helsinki provides you with a perfectly safe, guided tour to this amazing, cold and dark habitat of cool new startups. If you’re a cool new startup, you should be there!
Go to dotopen.com/Slush-09 to find relevant info about the event on November 3-4 in Helsinki, Finland. dotopen members have a one-click access to register their startup for a demo table at Slush*. Selected startups might also get selected for a special Talkoot Treatment and get an opportunity to pitch to a board of experts organized by Slush.
So, what are you waiting for? Login or register to dotopen to apply for this exciting opportunity! The deadline for submission to Slush is 30.10.2009.
We hope to see you there!
the dotopen team.
* The demo table doesn’t cost you anything extra, but you still need to get your Slush ticket.
