What & Why

Taking the pressure off.

Founded in 2025 by serial entrepreneurs and investors that understand the value of genuine connections, Chill Chats is all about taking the pressure off. No slideshows, no business cards, just real conversations about journeys, challenges, and motivations. In a world where time is precious, it’s about quickly identifying and connecting with the right people to create a win-win scenario, ensuring both funders and founders find the best fit for meaningful, mutually beneficial partnerships.

Each event is designed to bring together individuals who share a common ambition for success and impact. Whether you’re an investor looking for high-potential opportunities, a founder seeking growth, or a community builder shaping the next wave of innovation, Chill Chats creates the perfect environment for fostering relationships that matter.

Who

The room is small on purpose.

We bring together passionate serial entrepreneurs, ecosystem builders, and investors from super angels to family offices, all united by a shared interest in technology and innovation. Each event is intentionally kept small, creating an intimate environment where you can truly connect, exchange insights, and build lasting relationships that benefit everyone.

01

For Investors and Family Offices

Connect with experienced, driven founders. Meet ambitious company founders and serial entrepreneurs who are solving real-world problems. These are the hungry, driven entrepreneurs you want to support: those already making waves in their industries, looking to scale with the right partnerships.

Build relationships, not pitches. This is your chance to engage in authentic, no-pitch conversations with founders who are passionate about making an impact. No pressure, just real discussions where you get to know the people behind the ventures.

02

For Serial Entrepreneurs and Experienced Founders

Engage with serious investors and mentors. Meet super angels and family offices who are actively looking for opportunities to invest in transformative ideas. These aren’t just quick interactions; they’re the beginning of long-term relationships built on trust and mutual goals.

Learn and collaborate with peers. Share insights and lessons with other founders and entrepreneurs who have been where you are. Chill Chats fosters a community of ambitious, experienced professionals who know the value of collaboration and shared wisdom.

03

For Community Builders

Shape the future of innovation communities. As a community builder, your role is pivotal in fostering environments where founders and investors can thrive. Chill Chats offers you the opportunity to connect with influential investors and experienced founders, helping you cultivate relationships that can elevate the ecosystems you’re building.

Bridge innovators and investors. Your expertise in community building is essential in bringing together the right mix of people. This event gives you a platform to influence how these connections grow, helping you align investors with startups that fit their values and goals.

How It Works

Three rules, and that’s it.

No Pitching Allowed

The ‘no pitch’ approach sets a relaxed tone, creating an environment where meaningful conversations can flourish without the pressure of formal presentations.

Feel free to ask business-related questions or share about your startup when the opportunity arises. This is a space for sparring with funders and experienced business owners to help your company grow. But remember, it’s not just about the business itself. People are here to understand who you are, what drives you, and how you approach challenges. The core focus is on establishing strong relationships that can support your journey.

Authentic Bonds

Authentic connections go beyond networking. Here, it’s not about what you do; it’s about who you are and what drives you.

Whether you’re sharing a personal story or listening to someone else’s journey, the aim is to build relationships that are meaningful and long-lasting. By focusing on real, genuine interactions, we create a community that supports each other’s growth, both personally and professionally.

90-Minute Sessions

If deep bonds can be built in 90 days, we believe good people can begin a meaningful friendship within 90 minutes.

It has been proven here in Helsinki that in 90 days funders and founders can grow into a supportive professional family: a network of amazing people helping each other personally and professionally while contributing back to the local and global ecosystems.
