Fayl Tales Live: What Almost Broke Me

​Most startup events are about how people made it. This one is about how they almost didn't...

​This is an intimate live event for founders, operators, and builders who are curious about what really happens behind the highlight reel.

​After booking out our Sydney venue in just 4 days, we’re bringing this conversation to Melbourne.

​​The Premise: Three founders share the honest, unpolished stories about the moments that almost broke them.

• ​This is not a panel.

• ​It’s not a pitch night.

• ​No one is here to sell you anything.

​It’s just real experiences, told thoughtfully, followed by a conversation about the messy realities of scaling. It’s a chance to connect with a room of people who understand that building something meaningful is rarely linear.

​​We’re keeping the room intentionally small to preserve the vibe and the honesty.

​What to expect:

• ​Vulnerable Founder Stories: No "crushing it" narratives. Just the truth.

• ​Founder-Led Networking: High-caliber peers, zero ego.

• ​Dinner & Drinks: Your ticket includes Bahn Mi and drinks .

​​Who this is for
Founders, and anyone interested in building something who values depth over networking "fluff".
