About Event

​Unlock your next breakout idea by learning from failure.

​At Builder Dinner (Startup Fxckups Night), a hand‑picked circle of founders, venture capitalists and up-and-coming tech builders will gather for an evening of candid conversation about the mistakes, missteps, and outright disasters that shaped their success stories. Join us to:

  • ​Share war stories with people who have failed fast, learned hard, and bounced back stronger.

  • ​Accelerate your growth by hearing the brutal, off‑record failures you won't hear sanitized on podcasts.

  • ​Expand your inner circle with collaborators who lead with vulnerability and hard-won wisdom.

​Previous dinners have welcomed product, engineering and design heads from companies like Stripe, Sequoia, Miro and Gojek—plus a wave of rising early‑stage founders. Now it's your turn to share what didn't work.

​This dinner is about the pivots that nearly killed companies, the hires that went catastrophically wrong, the product launches that flopped spectacularly, and the fundraising rejections that stung the most. Come ready to laugh, learn, and realize you're not alone in your startup struggles.

​Seats are capped at 32. RSVP to secure your spot.

About The Runway Ventures

​​The Runway Ventures is helping founders become better and smarter operators by learning from startup failures through its weekly newsletter. Every Sunday, you'll get 1 failed startup story, 2 mistakes, and 3 lessons learned with actionable tips to build and grow your business — all for free.

​​Since then, we've built a growing community of founders, VCs, and operators across Southeast Asia. That's why we're hosting this builder dinner with GenieFriends for you to meet and learn directly from builders — be it their unfiltered startup journey, mistakes made, or lessons learned.

​​90% of startups failed because founders made mistakes. Don't be one of them. Join us, and we'll see you there!
