Can the stuff we carry help carry the crew?
Two MacBooks and a suitcase are heading to Slush Week. A sticker on them helps pay for the trip.
Two stickers down. Plenty of room left.
01
The crew
Six people. One week in Helsinki.
Two leads and four volunteers, working in Slush’s visual content crew through Slush Week 2026.
It’s a big opportunity for a creative crew. Getting there isn’t free.
Tân, Volunteer Lead · Andrea, Team Lead
Between the two of us, we’re responsible for part of Slush Week’s visual content. This experiment is something we’re running independently alongside those roles.
And we just want to help out our fellow volunteers :)
02
Why we’re doing it
We’d rather the cost of a week in Helsinki didn’t decide who gets to make the most of it.
Opportunity
Creative talent
Helsinki is expensive
An unconventional media model
Giulia de Oliveira Camargo turned her MacBook into ad space.
We loved it, so we borrowed the idea, pointed it at a crew’s travel costs and brought a suitcase.

Pick a size
You’re backing an experiment. The sticker, the page placement and the campaign content are what you get in return. No impressions, no CPM.
What you get
01
A sticker on the gear you choose, plus your logo on this page.
02
A few short posts about how it goes: sticker on, off we go, how it went.
03
A one-page agreement. The volunteers never work on supporter stuff.
Surface 04 · Wildcard · from €250
Another bit of gear, a new placement, something we haven’t thought of yet. If it’s fun and allowed, we’re in.
* We cannot provide a reliable CPM estimate for the suitcase.

Try it
Go on, stick one on.
Raised so far + your imagination€100
The first €100 is real. Every sticker you add here is €100 we don’t have yet.
06
Progress
First €100 in.
Future Ready Design and Twenty Twenty Solutions were the first two companies stupid enough to see where this goes.
Where the money goes
Every euro goes toward getting the six of us to Helsinki and through the week:
01
Travel
02
Somewhere to sleep
03
Getting around
04
Slush Week bits
It’s sponsorship, not a donation, so we invoice it. Raise less? We help where we can. Raise more? We’ll tell you where it goes first.
The people helping us get there
We’re keeping it to a handful of companies that fit, and we’ll pass on direct conflicts.

Back the crew
Back the crew.
Tell us where you want to appear and what you’d like to put in. It’s a request, not a payment: nothing is charged until we’ve agreed.
Prefer email?
What happens next -
1. You send a request.
2. We check it fits and doesn’t clash with Slush partners.
3. You get a short agreement and an invoice. Then your sticker goes on.
No Slush partnership, no attendee access, no spot in official Slush content, no promised numbers.
