Dear Startup Community,

No one said building a company is easy!

This month we want to host a F*ck Up Night and deep dive into the most common startup failure stories and highlight especially the lessons learned on their way to building their business. We will look at this topic from an entrepreneurial, investor and legal perspective as we welcome three speakers:

• Philipp Hartmann (Founder & Managing Partner, Rheingau Founders)
• Sebastian Krieg (Lawyer, BMH Bräutigam)
• Phong Dao (CEO & Co-Founder, iVE.ONE | Agora Innovation)

Let's explore the stories of businesses that burn, the partnership deals that go sour, the legal mistakes that many founders do and most importantly: what do we learn from them?

Failures are part of the biggest success stories. However, while almost every founder has once failed in their entrepreneurial career, only some can manage and overcome failure successfully. In fact, that’s what separates successful people from the rest of the crowd. Not because they know something that no one else does, but because they are able to push through no matter what.

And although failing is part of the process - there are certain pitfalls that you should know beforehand so that you can better navigate your decisions. Avoiding such mistakes can help you to anticipate certain failures and succeed more quickly. This is why we bring together a round of experts that discuss the common patterns of fuck-ups from different perspectives.

Join us on November 9th at 6.00 pm (CET) for an interactive panel discussion.

We are also curious to hear from your insights & learnings - so please join us and share your lessons learned with the community. We look forward to seeing you virtually!
