Fuckup nights
“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.” – Samuel Beckett
Stories of success are incomplete without stories of failures.
During this inspiring evening, we bring together diverse, high-profile speakers to share stories of their past failures and unexpected twists in life, and most importantly, how these events have brought them closer to their successes today. They embrace their professional fuckups in an attempt to shatter the taboo surrounding failure and show us what we can learn from our mistakes.
Join us in this movement to be bold, adventurous, and unafraid of failing. Do not miss out on this unique opportunity to hear the captivating stories of entrepreneurs and high-level executives followed by a Q&A session and networking apéro.
Startup speed dating
Are you a startup looking for a co-founder or talents to hire?
Are you a skillful student eager to find or work in a startup?
The Startup Speed Dating connects students and startups in a simple way: you will meet startup founders in short 6-minutes “speed-dates” followed by a networking apéro and afterparty.
Startup Jam Session
Launching Startup Jam Sessions!
We’re launching ‘Startup Jam Sessions’ – a series of events where we bring together seasoned founders with people who just started to think about their venture. Inspired by musical jam sessions, this is a place for you to come and think out loud about business ideas. No agendas, no keynotes. Just a group of people thinking about how to change the world through technology ventures.
Supported by Tomahawk.VC, ETH Entrepreneur Club and Swisspreneur
