The corporate world is not as terrible -and is all thanks to you!

Sometimes things seem a little hopeless.
Sometimes the headlines can make you think the whole world is going up in flames.
But change is possible, and we’ve learned that firsthand.
When we set out on this journey of having those uncomfortable conversations—this journey of living a life without filters—it wasn’t without its fair share of doubt and naysayers. We were the masochistic weirdos who liked to hear stories of failure, and nobody really wanted to have anything to do with us.
When we first began offering our Private Events (our corporate events), on average we’d only have one every three months or so. But then, something changed.
Fuckup Nights and growing. We found an audience. We found a community. And that passionate community, full of people just like you, began to amplify our voice. It made us louder, and it made the corporate world take notice.
Now, we’re seeing more and more companies willing to acknowledge their failures. Companies that want to create a safe space for their employees to be vulnerable. That gives us hope.
It’s no secret that unchecked capitalism plays a role in humanity’s self-destruction. However, we truly believe that by making it a more vulnerable system—rather than one that is rapacious and willfully ignorant—we can bring about more powerful change. That’s why internal champions are so important, and that’s why we strive to empower them.
And it’s working.
What used to be fewer than one corporate event per month is now an average of 25 per month—and growing. Whereas we once struggled to get companies to even mention our name, now they’re saying things like:
““This event was a great way to bring people together, and it created a deep, genuine connection so quickly!”
BMW
““Kicking Fuckup Nights our offsite with Fuckup Nights went so well, and really helped set the tone for the next few days…””
Riot Games
““The fact that leaders in our organization openly share their failures, showing themselves to be vulnerable, is what we value most. It builds trust and shows us that tackling challenges always leads to a positive outcome.””
Daimler Mercedes
That means the world to us because we see hosting private events as a way to bring about the change we want to see in the corporate world.
So, thanks for sharing your failures from your corner of the world, and if you’d also like to bring a little bit of Fuckup Nights your company, let us know — we’d love to hear from you.
