Fuckup Nights Sydney: The Failures Behind The Headlines

🎟 Tickets are sold on Eventbrite only: eventbrite.com.au/e/2003645208756
Your Meetup RSVP is not a ticket. Grab yours on Eventbrite.
Three Sydney founders get on stage and tell the story of a business that went properly wrong, and what they took from it. Seven minutes each, then questions from the room. Off the record.
Fuckup Nights started in Mexico City and now runs in 250+ cities across 70+ countries. No pitch decks, no "and that is when we raised our Series A". Just the stories people normally only tell after the second drink, and the lessons that came out of them.

## Who's speaking

Ben Rennie, Founder, Rennie Lab · CEO, SP1. A design studio that grew too fast: thirty staff to zero, and ten leased company cars parked on his front lawn.
Spiroula J, Founder, FOS Collective. An interior studio with a business partner of eight years. It lasted six months.
Robert Ian Bonnick, Founder, SpeakuP Monday. A café in Bali built on big dreams and very little research, and what came out of it.
MC: Xavier Crow, Mentalist · Founder, Real Human Dynamics.
