My Startup Horror Story
Not every founder story ends with a rocket emoji. Some end in co-founder breakups, cash burn nightmares, and accidental product launches with broken code.
We’ve all been there. Now we’re talking about it.
Join us at Startup Horror Story Night — The Delta Campus' Halloween-season community event where brave founders and operators take the mic to share their worst startup mistakes and what they learned from them.
Think:
💬 Open-mic founder therapy (5–8 min stories, raw and reflective)
🎭 Optional costumes (zombie founder? ghost of your cap table?)
🍷 Post-story drinks & connection with Berlin’s boldest builders
🎁 Best costume wins a Halloween prize
This isn’t a pitch night. It’s not about perfection. It’s about vulnerability, laughter, and the very real lessons you only learn when things go wrong.
You’ll hear stories like:
🚨 Shipped the wrong build the night before launch
💸 Raised a round… then ran out of cash
😱 Fired the wrong person or didn’t fire them soon enough
💔 Trusted the wrong co-founder
Whether you want to speak or just listen, you’re welcome here. Bring a friend, bring a drink, bring your most cringe-worthy startup story.
Why come?
Because the startup journey is hard. And hearing what others have lived through might just make your next mistake a little less painful and a lot more human.
📍 Delta Campus, Berlin
This is a community event—free to attend, but RSVP required.
Because at Delta, we believe the power of proximity isn’t just about networking. It’s about showing up for each other, especially when things go sideways.
