Episode notes

I saw that Vault got acquired. That's really, really cool. And I know slush has been around for a while. I believe it started in 2008, although online there are a ton of different like origin stories. What's the origin story that you think is true? Because I'm interested to see. Yeah. So slush was correctly founded in 2008. Back then it was an initiative of five Finnish entrepreneurs. But the first one was already 10,000 people. The student association didn't really like the kind of small scale. So they started growing the event heavily and now it is an extremely strong movement over 10 years.
