Announcing Arctic15: Exit Path


    Today we’re really excited to announce our conference, Arctic15: Exit Path.

    Taking place just before the start of summer on May 27th and 28th in Helsinki, ArcticStartup and our event friends at NiceUp are putting the right people together in the room with an solid program designed to provide our readers and our region with value.

    As the name suggests, we’ll be taking attendees down a path through every stage of a company’s lifecycle, from the idea phase, bootstrapping, raising those first rounds, growth & scaling, and into IPOs and acquisitions. The idea here is to paint a picture of the road to an exit, and to have practical talks for every stage of a company’s lifecycle, so there’s something for everyone.

    For these keynotes so far we’ve secured a great list of initial speakers, including:

    In addition, we have a few more names we’re excited to share with you soon.

    Nearly every startup conference you go to has the nice mix of investors to balance out the mass of entrepreneurs (and we plan to have the same!) but in addition, we want our region’s startup’s to get friendly with corporate acquirers so we have more exit news to write about. To support the financial side of the equation we’ll be providing attendees with matchmaking, startup/investor speed dating, as well as reverse pitching by large corporations. It’s never too early to get to know the giants in the room.

    Thanks for keeping ArcticStartup for-profit
    We’ve priced the tickets at €365 and think! For €1 a day, you directly support your feed of independent startup news from the Nordic and Baltic countries. On top of that you’ll get to hang out with 1000 of the people that matter most to this region, two solid days of great speakers, two hot meals, plenty of coffee, and an amazing after-party. It’s like a conference tailored to you and pretend subscription rolled all in one. Your support helps ArcticStartup cover the region better!

    And quick! Grab a friend. For a super limited amount of time, we’re selling very early-bird tickets for two for the price of one. So for the same price as one ticket, you and a friend will high-five each other as you walk through the door, because you – a visionary entrepreneur – understand how to move fast and early on market opportunity.

    We know your startup or organization is looking for more visibility during the event, so we’re selling early-bird demo stands that include a stand for one day, as well as two 2day tickets. These are first-come-first served, so find more information at our tickets page or get in touch with [email protected].

    This will be our third Arctic15, and to us we’ve found the most rewarding part of our conferences (aside from the after-party) is that we get to meet our readers face-to face. We can’t wait to see you in May!
