I'm In → Fuck-up talk: learnings from my entrepreneurial journey

Most talks about building companies stay on the good bits. This one starts at the other end.

Johannes Röhrenbach has built three startups and two venture studios, and he's bringing the failures with him: the decisions that looked right at the time, what they cost, and what he'd do differently now.

You leave with a list of things worth avoiding, from someone who has already paid for them.

Wednesday 23 September, 17:30 at Schifflände 26, ten steps from the Limmat. The talk runs about an hour, the conversation afterwards runs longer.
