From Potential to Progress: Startups, the Engines of Tomorrow

Why Sarajevo Slush'D?

Rooted in the untapped potential of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo Slush’D is where global expertise meets local drive to create a one-of-a-kind experience for founders, investors, and innovators. Born from the same movement that started in Helsinki and grew into one of the world’s most influential startup gatherings, Sarajevo Slush’D is more than just an event – it’s a catalyst.

In the heart of Sarajevo, a city with a rich cultural heritage and a fast-growing tech ecosystem, we’re building a bold, connected startup community.

On October 15, Sarajevo will become the hub where regional talent, global investors, and world-class speakers collide to redefine what’s possible for the next generation of companies.

Breaking barriers and building the next generation of founders

Attitude & Culture
Attitude & Culture

Risk-aversion, fear of failure, the comfort of stable 9 - 5 jobs, and limited exposure to startup thinking
continue to block entrepreneurial action and experimentation.

Knowledge & Skills
Knowledge & Skills

Most potential founders lack hands-on experience, product-building skills -despite strong local engineering talent, and exposure to startup life. Without practical guidance or consistent support, many ideas never reach execution.

Access to Capital
Access to Capital

While regional investors are present and some offer pre-seed capital, they typically back startups with early traction or founders who can clearly articulate their vision. For most early teams, access to small starter checks, local support, and investor readiness remains a major hurdle, made worse by regulatory and structural barriers.
