What the fail X Seoul Startups: entrepreneurship struggles

​Welcome to a night of candid, unfiltered sharing on failure! At What The Fail, we invite entrepreneurs and industry thought leaders from across various industries to share about the failures they have experienced at industry, professional, and personal levels. Through their vulnerability and openess, we will explore what failure means to them, what happened when they failed, what did they learn from their experiences, and what they are up to now.

The Format
No slides! Just an initimate conversation between the speaker and host, and we will open up the floor for questions; ask anything you’re curious about, that would add value to your night. Don’t hold back!

There will also be a "I failed" wall where participants are encouraged to submit the latest failure they have experienced. We can share our collective experiences and know that we are not alone in this feeling.

​Who is What The Fail?
What The Fail is on a mission to reshape our relationship with failure in Asian societies. Recognising the prevailing stigma attached to failing, we believe that true innovation and progress are impossible without acknowledging failure as a vital component of the journey. At What The Fail, entrepreneurs and thought leaders get unfiltered and candid about their journeys, the profound lessons they have learnt, and the paths they are on now.
