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.
Advertising inventory, pre-sale. Go on, move the stickers.

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.

Object 04 · Wildcard
Another bit of gear, a new placement, something we haven’t thought of. If it’s fun and allowed, we’re in.

Go on, stick one on.
Imaginary money raised€0
Not real money (yet). Real stickers start with a chat.

What supporters get
What you actually get
01
A sticker on one of our Macs, the suitcase, or all three.
02
Your logo on this page, and a thank-you when we launch and wrap up.
03
A few short posts about how it goes: sticker on, off we go, how it went.
04
We make all of that ourselves. The volunteers never work on supporter stuff.
05
It all goes in a one-page agreement. If a sticker can’t come into the venue, you’re still in.
07
Where the money 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.

We’re keeping it to a handful of companies that fit, and we’ll pass on direct conflicts.

Who we are
Tân — Volunteer Lead · Andrea — Team Lead
Between the two of us, we’re responsible for part of Slush Week. This experiment is something we’re running independently alongside our roles.

Fine print
The fine print, up front
An independent experiment by Tân and Andrea, in our personal capacity alongside our Slush roles. Not run, sold or endorsed by Slush. Stickers go on our own belongings and follow event and venue rules.
No Slush partnership, no attendee access, no spot in official Slush content, no promised numbers.

What happens next
We’ll reply ourselves, agree what makes sense and put it on one page. Nothing here is official Slush exposure.
