Tenerife | 20th-23rd November 2026
Escape to Tenerife. Reconnect. Recharge. Grow your network.
The absolute best conversations in the startup ecosystem are usually informal. Yes, often randomly at a conference, but often over dinner, and shared experiences like a walk, a hike, or a boat ride.
‘LUSH’ is the new Pathfounders, by application only, retreat for founders, investors and ecosystem players designed specifically to generate those conversations.
And, coincidentally, it’s timed right after Slush, in a warm climate, enabling you to de-frost and wind down from a hectic week.
Over four days and three nights in sunny Tenerife, you’ll get to step away from the everyday hustle, meet people worth knowing and reset.
There's a light programme of talks and sessions, but the point is the time in between.
The experience:
Guided forest hike: clear your head, get some exercise and chat with fellow Lush-ers on this leisurely hike
Boat trip and swim stop: time on the Atlantic with our small, curated group
Welcome and farewell dinners: start and finish the retreat together, do what you want in the meantime
Unconference-style sessions: As well as our chance to introduce your company, you’ll be able to participate in co-creating lightweight content sessions over the duration.
Why this works: This is a curated retreat
Places are offered by application, and every attendee is selected by Pathfounders Editorial to keep the group right for everyone in it.
