FuckUp Night Joburg

FuckUp Night is a global movement where stories of failed businesses and projects are told, questioned and celebrated. The first FuckUp Night happened in Mexico City in September 2012. Since then we gather every month to drink beer and listen to three stories about failure.

 

Impact Hub Joburg has been hosting FuckUp Nights since 2014 to shift the perception of failure in South Africa’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. This is essentially a meet up of entrepreneurs, former entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs at heart. We listen to three stories of business/project failures, each lasting 10:00 minutes. 

Our theme for this month is Failure & Innovation, our speakers for the night:
Davis Cook, CEO of The Research Institute of Innovation and Sustainability
Nelisewa Fente, Co-Founder of SpringAGE
Audrey Verhaeghe, Chairpman of the SA Innovation Summit
