ScrewUps • Nov 28 • Bangalore
ScrewUps - Come for the free *therapy. Learn from other people's mistakes.
You've built something ambitious. You've also definitely screwed up along the way. (No, really, you have. It's okay. We all have.)
ScrewUps is where deeptech and science founders get together to be brutally, refreshingly honest about the mistakes, face-plants, and 'learning experiences' that shaped their journey. This is your official opportunity to be totally ok to laugh at past failures and fuckups.
Date & Time: Friday, November 28 | 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Location: Bangalore (Indiranagar) (Venue details shared with approved RSVPs)
🎙️We're kicking things off with a story from Jay Krishnan.
Jay is a serial deeptech entrepreneur and Partner at Beyond Next Ventures India. He'll be sharing stories straight from the trenches—the stuff he usually keeps for closed-door chats. We're talking successful exits, a spectacularly failed startup, and the real lessons from building (and funding) hard-tech in India.

What to Expect
💭No-BS Stories: Jay's starting the fire, but this is a group session. We're all here to share the real screw-ups and (more importantly) what happened next.
🤝You're Not Alone: A chance to meet other founders and operators and realize you're not the only one who has faced that "oh no" moment.
🚀 Deeptech Focus: This is built for founders scaling hardware, AI/ML, biotech, climate, etc. — where the failures are expensive and the lessons are priceless.
🤫Intimacy w/Trust: We're using the Chatham House Rule. What's shared in the room stays in the room. Seriously. No tweeting the 'oh sh*t' moments.
Who Should Attend
Deeptech founders and science-led venture builders (at any stage, from "just started" to "seen it all")
Operators, product leads, and tech leads scaling ridiculously ambitious companies
Anyone who values authenticity over optics and is tired of hearing "we're crushing it"
The Vibe
We're having real conversations about the hard stuff—the decisions that went sideways, the pivots nobody saw coming, and the lessons that actually mattered.
Come for the free *therapy. Stay to learn from other people’s mistakes. Be a ScrewUp.
