Start-up journeys rarely follow a straight line – and at Start-up FUCK UPS*, failure is not just acknowledged, it's embraced. This unique event shines a light on the unfiltered side of entrepreneurship: the mistakes, missed opportunities, and misjudgments that are part and parcel of founding a business.

Hosted as part of the fXc Xmas Edition, the evening features candid stories from founders who open up about what went wrong on their start-up paths. From unexpected detours to game-changing pivots and the power of a strong network, the speakers share insights that go beyond the typical success narratives.

After the keynotes, the spotlight shifts to the audience in an interactive Open Mic session. Attendees are invited to share their own F*uck Ups and lessons learned, creating an honest, supportive space for founders and aspiring entrepreneurs.

With seasonal treats like gingerbread, a selection of hot and cold drinks, and a relaxed holiday vibe, this is the perfect occasion to connect, reflect, and celebrate the real stories behind start-up life.
