Superhero Capital

🏖️🏐 Spikes, Saunas, and Slush Vibes! 🏖️🏐 Yesterday, we served up more than just volleyballs—we brought the startup and investor community together for an epic Slush week kickoff! The vibe? Unmatched. The energy? Off the charts. 🔥 We jumped straight into wild beach volleyball matches—friendly competition, questionable serves, and plenty of laughs. Networking? It happened everywhere, from the court to the sidelines. And, of course, we wrapped it up in true Finnish style: saunas, stories, and big ideas bubbling up with the steam. A huge thank you to our incredible co-hosts, Vendep Capital and Evli Growth Partners, and to everyone who brought their A-game—or just their good vibes. Let’s carry this energy through the rest of Slush Week! Here’s a sneak peek at the action 📸👇
