"Failure is still too taboo": a night about falling, and why entrepreneurship needs it

The success stories of the entrepreneurial world are well known. The failures, far more numerous, are not. On this evening, founders took the stage to speak openly about the projects that did not work, and about what they took away from them.

Fuckup Nights is part of how Pulse treats failure: not as a verdict, but as fuel. By bringing these stories into the open, we make it a little easier for the next founder to take the risk, and to get back up if it does not go to plan.

The format is simple. A handful of speakers, a few honest minutes each, and a room that listens without judgement.
