Slush 2022 brings close to one trillion euros of venture capital to Finland in November - Helsinki Times

This year, 4,200 startup founders and operators and 2,200 investors are expected to join Slush. This group of investors manages close to a trillion of growth capital. "For a startup founder, this means that during Slush, there will be quite exactly one investor per startup in Helsinki. There is no better place in the world for startups to raise funding", says Eerika Savolainen, CEO of Slush.

The stage program will feature top-level speakers from around the world, such as legendary Venture Capital investor Doug Leone, who has led the private equity firm Sequoia for more than 20 years, Loreanne Garcia, the Founder of Kavak, one of Latin America's most successful growth companies, and Nikolay Storonsky, the Founder of financial superapp Revolut. In total, Slush will feature more than 150 speakers and moderators over the two days.

In addition to top-level speakers, Slush stages will host the well-known Slush 100 pitching competition, as well as Builders' Studio, a new highly-popular stage concept from Slush 2021 that unpacks a startup's journey from idea to exit. In addition, 200 side events will be held around Helsinki during the Slush week.

"Slush's mission is to help and create entrepreneurs to change the world. In the coming years, Slush will focus on growing in relevance rather than in scale, both in terms of our visitors and content. We ruthlessly focus on early-stage startup founders and their needs", Savolainen states.

Slush is a not-for-profit movement on a mission to help and create founders to change the world. The main event brings together the people of the ecosystem at the Expo and Convention Centre Helsinki (Messukeskus) on November 17–18, 2022. Public ticket sales start on May 25, 2022.

Top ICT tenders: Eskom looks to customer engagement - ITWeb

Image
With president Cyril Ramaphosa's State of the Nation Address due to take place on Thursday, and rumours of an imminent cabinet shakeup abounding, it's unsurprising that National Treasury's eTender Portal is relatively quiet this week. That's not to say there's little of interest in the issue though. In fact, a notice from beleaguered Eskom is likely to attract attention from all sectors of society. In the tender, the utility states it wishes to replace its existing customer relationship management (CRM) solution, including the CS Online web portal and MyEskom customer mobile application. The tender documentation notes Eskom's existing applications and architecture are "fragmented with limited functionality and do not provide a holistic, omni-channel customer engagement experience that is seamless across channels (telephony IVR, web portal, mobile app)". What's more, it says it would like to move as many of its costly telephony interaction...

Virginia Tech Pamplin alumnus Jay Ives included in Forbes' 30 ... - Virginia Tech Daily

Image
In the early months of 2020, as COVID-19 left many small and medium-sized businesses struggling in its wake, Virginia Tech Pamplin College of Business alumnus and Jives Media founder Jay Ives saw an opportunity to serve his local community. "Businesses were hurting, and I wanted to do everything in my power to support them," Ives said. What he couldn't have foreseen is how taking this opportunity to serve would, over the course of just two years, rapidly transform his career and earn him a spot on Forbes' 30 under 30 list among the world's top marketers. The 29-year-old entrepreneur and CEO started his professional journey as a marketing management major at Virginia Tech, completing his undergraduate degree in 2016. "I knew to be a 'lethal marketer,' I had to have the proper support, training, and education to develop both qualitative and quantitative marketing skills." He chose to enroll in Pamplin for the world-class education he knew he woul...
