    About this event

    Overview: For every WIRED success story, there are a million failures. And it is from these failures that we can find the edge of innovation. Failing Upward is an interview series that embraces failures, the lessons learned, and how to go about moving upward.

    Don't miss out on the chance to hear from experienced startup founders who will share their entrepreneurial journeys, the mistakes they've made, and the things they'd do differently if they could start over. Alongside the founders, we'll have legal, financial and growth experts to add their relevant expertise in avoiding these common founder bumps in the road.

    What You'll Take Away Learn the lessons our panelists had to come by the hard way, and hear actionable advice for sidestepping these common pitfalls.

    Why it Matters: The failures and successes that founders have before raising pre-seed money can make or break a startup. Find out how to learn from your mistakes and avoid common missteps down the line so you are prepared for investment and growth.
