Fuckup Nights Barcelona
By Charlotte Stace
Success stories are everywhere, but FuckUp Nights is far more interested in talking about what went wrong. This event is a movement that started in Mexico in 2012 as a means for entrepreneurs to share their stories of business failure. It invites founders, creatives and business leaders to ditch the LinkedIn version of their stories and share the mistakes and bad decisions that taught them the most.
Barcelona is now one of the 200 cities hosting FuckUp Nights, and this year brings an edition themed around “rewriting the equation of success”. Speakers include Cooltra founder Timo Buetefisch, Healthy Poke founder Juan Uribe, podcast host Silvia Rivela and Awaken’s Stefania Nappo, who each bring their own tales of things not going according to plan. The evening finishes with drinks, food and networking.
