Fuckup Nights (FuN) is a global movement and community that shares stories of professional failure. FuN was created from the need to share and celebrate our experiences of failure. This space was conceptualised almost a decade or more ago. It is an open meeting space that allows us to freely express our human-imperfect point of view, and make it clear that fuckups are part of everyday life (lit). Embracing vulnerability and accepting failure isn't a sign of weakness, but a catalyst for growth and innovation. We created a Global Movement because we managed to connect with that sensitive thread that runs through us all and shows us that everyone is doing what they can with their daily battles, and not all of them are won.
In Portugal Fuckup Nights was launched in Lisbon in 2023, then in Porto at SIM Conference in 2024 and now in Braga at the Techstars Starup Week in Guimarães. Come and Celebrate Failures with us. #ShareTheFailure

Fuckup Nights is a global movement with a platform for international events where people get to share their personal failure stories. Every month different events happen worldwide where three to four speakers step into the spotlight in front of a room of strangers to share their screw-ups. We've heard it all, from stories of businesses that go bust, partnership deals that fall out, to products that must be recalled.
