FuckUp Night Basel

Failure is a part of life – yet it is talked about far too rarely.

The FuckUp Nights Basel (FUN Basel) are part of the international FuckUp Nights movement. The focus is on real stories about mistakes, setbacks, and unexpected turns – and the question of what we can learn from them.

At FUN Basel, we look at the positive side of failure: How can mistakes enable growth? How do new ideas emerge from setbacks? And why do detours sometimes lead to the goal?

Entrepreneurship, technology, and the detours to success

Success is rarely a straight line. Behind successful companies are bold decisions, doubts, technological challenges, and setbacks – sometimes even a complete change of direction.

At F*ckUp Nights Basel, experienced founders share their entrepreneurial journeys openly. They provide a look behind the scenes, talking about bold decisions, technological challenges, and moments when things didn't go according to plan.

On stage:

• Björn Thoma
• Lukas Haas
• Vincent Ghilione (Talk in English)

Look forward to honest stories, personal lessons, and an open exchange with the regional startup and technology ecosystem.
