Title:

FAIL As If Your Life Depends On It

Your vote:
Level:
Beginner
Type:
Panel
Category:
Business / Entrepreneurial
Organizer:
Joshua Strebel, bestpartyever.com
Description:
It does. Last year we bankrupted your company on the whim of a Unicorn, this year we show you why failing in your startup/life/project is the first step in truly succeeding. FAIL early- FAIL often. Your success is measured as the sum of recoveries from near disaster.

Failure stories are often requested, but rarely shared. Prototyping is a great way to fail early, often, and w/low cost, but high value.

I've got plenty of FAIL stories to share if this is an open panel. Plus the lessons learned to back it up.

whatever you do, don't FAIL to bring in the Unicorn at the crucial moment

need to talk about http://failreport.com but other than self promotion madness Josh always has good stories and insight from previous entanglements that are interested to hear

It's time to use the Die Hard series school of naming conventions. If you already did that last year and I wasn't taking notes I blame the horned horse overlord.
