Education for entrepreneurs comes in many forms but learning from setbacks is often one of the keys to their success.  Why do many startups who have great success in fundraising end up in liquidation, for often intangible or external reasons?

In truth, failure is often a better mentor than initial success, especially in highlighting lessons critical to a new venture’s longterm success.   Join us for presentations from entrepreneurs and venture capitalists sharing their “war stories” about painful lessons they learned – not vetting investors, not knowing how to build the right team, ignoring interpersonal issues and conflicting motivations, or unknown unknowns.

After the presentations there will be audience Q&A along with plenty of networking.
