Why A Conference on Failure?

See the history of any successful startup leading up to it’s success, and you will more likely than not see a string of failures along the way. Because it is inevitable that any small business or startup will encounter failures: in idea development, in teamwork, in hiring, in design, in scaling, in countless unpredictable ways.

Yet conference after conference features speakers only telling you what they did right – something that can be near -impossible to emulate.

At FailCon, join over 400 founders, investors, executives, developers, service provides, and press as they share tips and tools to avoid, prepare for, and recover from the most common startup mistakes.
