Montreal NewTech demo #62 is scheduled tuesday 14th at Café République. RSVP on twtvite

Startup Failure

For this first edition of 2014, the first 30mn will be an open mic session for anyone who want to talk about startup failures. 

The idea is to stop being afraid of failures and start embracing it. 

We invite technology entrepreneurs, developers, investors, designers to tell about their own past failure, study it so that everyone can prepare for success. Did you have a system that crashed the day of the launch? Or maybe you thought your idea would be the next Facebook but only got 100 users? Did you have a deal that went through? We all have founded, worked or invested in startups that failed. This is the time to tell the audience what didn't worked, what were the wrong hires, and when you decided to let things go.

So come have a beer with us, tell your story, so we can learn from mistakes and build something bigger next time.

Happy Startup Year 2014!
