What is FuckUp Nights?
Fuckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories of professional failure. Each month, in events across the globe, we get three to four people to get up in front of a room full of strangers to share their own professional fuckup. The stories of the business that crashes and burns, the partnership deal that goes sour, the product that has to be recalled, we tell them all.

FUNDXB: Dubai’s local version
Jay Menorca - the organizer of FUNDXB acquired the franchise license of FuckUp Nights and converted it into UAE version with a more friendly term FUNDXB which is low key the simplified version of FuckUp Nights DXB :) Since 2016, FUNDXB already had organized 13 volumes with over 45 failure stories told from different entrepreneur speakers from various industry sectors. FUNDXB now a staple event at Nest Coworking Space, held every last Monday of the month for the full 2019.
Why we do it?
There are many reasons why you could organize an event or a series of FUNs:
It promotes an acceptance of failure and celebrates trying
It generates a culture of inclusion and transparency
Eliminates the feeling of hierarchy
Facilitates bottom-up innovation
Energizes the culture of the company
It helps you prevent losses by finding early stage mistakes
How is it done?
In every FUN event each speaker tells their story:
What was the project?
What went wrong?
What did they learn?
What would they do differently?
The speakers can be quite varied: artists, architects, technology, green and social entrepreneurs, and even a doctor who a few years ago opened a shop that went broke.
Each of them tells their story in 10 images (each projected for 40 seconds) then there is a Q&A session, and at the end of the speakers stories, we open a space for networking among attendees.
