It’s cold, dark and there’s slush on the ground in November in Finland. Still, lots of cool new startups will be meeting on November 3rd and 4th 2009 in Helsinki at the Slush Conference: Slush! is an event organized by startups for startups, aimed to motivate people to start their own businesses and to support networking. Tiburon-TV’s Viktoria has interviewed one of the co-organizers of this cool event: Antti Vilpponen from ArcticStartup, the leading blog on Nordic and Baltic startups.
