Europe for the week

And just like that I’m on the last leg of my 3 week trip. I landed in Amsterdam this morning, slept for 2 hours at my hotel and went into the office. Tomorrow I leave for Finland for the Slush conference until Friday and then I’ll take the ferry over to Estonia where I’ll spend a couple days for leisure before flying home finally.

This will be my first time attending Slush and I’ve heard great things. It seems to be Europe’s premiere startup conference and I’m giving a presentation on Wednesday for a group of 50 founders and investors. Like most conferences, it’s going to be equal parts exhausting and fun. I’m excited to meet operators and investors from this side of the world and get out of the SV bubble a bit.

I’m tired as Thanksgiving week at the future in-laws was not as relaxing as I would have liked. I’m sure by the end of Slush, I’m going to be happy to be by myself in Estonia so I have that to look forward to. In the meantime, I’ll be living off caffeine and adrenaline. No rest for the weary.
