There are no world-class tech products without world-class design; a factor, if dismissed at the early stages, will hinder progress. The discussion will examine the case for startups investing in design right from the beginning. Here’s the chance to learn about how design adds value to startups and the specific role of great design in building great products.

Discussion with Lisa Lindström, Co-founder & CEO of Doberman, Caroline Hardy, Senior Design Lead at SoundCloud, and Matt Jones, Principal Designer at Google AI.


In 2018, Slush brought together 20,000 attendees, including 3,100 startups, 1,800 investors and 650 journalists from over 130 countries. The cold and dark Helsinki welcomed these tech-heads to celebrate on Dec 3-5, 2018 with hundreds of side-events and activities around the city.
