​We're excited to be hosted by Venture Cafe for this special mini session — two speakers, all the Fail Club flavor you know and love, in a more compact package. Low fat, full flavor. Come join us.

Tokyo Fail Club is a community where creative people share their real, vulnerable stories about failure. Our goal is to create a place where people can celebrate failure, and challenge ideas of what success looks like.
For this special Venture Cafe session, we'll gather to hear two speakers talk about a time they experienced failure and lessons they learned through the experiences, before opening up to Q&A and open networking time.

今回はVenture Cafeにホストしていただき、特別なミニセッションをお届けします。スピーカーは2名、いつものFail Clubのエッセンスをギュッと凝縮したコンパクトな構成です。中身は濃く、ボリュームはスリム。ぜひ一緒に楽しみましょう。

「Tokyo Fail Club」は、クリエイティブな人たちが自身のリアルでありのままの人生で過去に起きた失敗にまつわるストーリーを共有するコミュニティです。このコミュニティにおける私たちの目標は、過去の失敗を祝福する場を作り、また、未来の成功について一緒に再考することです。
