F@ckUp Nights | Groningen

Building a startup? Spoiler: it’s going to get messy.

At F@ckUp Nights, founders talk about the things you usually don’t hear — the flops, mistakes, blunders, and how they kept going anyway. It’s raw, relatable, and sometimes painfully funny (you’ll probably think: that could’ve been me).

This event is for anyone who’s ever wondered: what if things go wrong?

Short answer? You learn. You adapt. You probably swear a little. And then you keep building.

What to expect

A founder grabs the mic and takes you through what went wrong — and what came out of it. There’s room for questions, awkward laughter, and honest conversations about the less shiny side of entrepreneurship.

Why come?

• You want the real story, not the LinkedIn version
• You’re curious how people bounce back after a f@ckup
• You’re thinking of starting something but don’t know what’s “normal”
• You like learning from other people’s mistakes (smart move)

F@ckUp Nights are your reality check — the kind that leaves you stronger (and maybe a little wiser). Come for the chaos, stay for the insights, and go home with a few unexpected connections.

What’s with the rocket part?

At this event, you’ll collect The Engine: the second piece of your miniature rocket. It’s not just a random souvenir. Every rocket needs fuel, and every founder needs resilience. The Engine represents that drive to keep going, even when things get messy.

If you came to a BLT, you’ve already got The Flame. Keep going and collect all four rocket parts (Flame, Engine, Body, Cockpit) by attending all our Future Founder events.
