Failcon - A Unique Conference for Startups, Comes to Bangalore


80% of Startups Fail. Does it mean the rest of them, the 20%, never failed? No. It just means that the startups that survived and thrived had founders who understood the real nature of failing, that failing is just a part of the process to succeed. They knew, or learnt, how to not just cope with mistakes and fails, but also use the experience as a strength. They figured out how to leverage failing, rather than letting it weigh them down.

Failcon is an international conference that celebrates just this fact. It is a conference for startup founders to study their own and others' failures and prepare for success.

Time to give failure a makeover?


The people involved in Failcon believe that it's time failure is given its due credit. In a world that it totally enamored by success and constant repetition and references to success stories, it's no wonder that failure is a taboo topic. The founders of Failcon are hoping to change that, to quote them, one city at a time.

This unique concept took roots in the year 2009, in the city of San Francisco. The objective? To provide guidance and safe spaces for failure. FailCon is conducted in 6 continents and over a dozen cities around the world, including San Francisco, Barcelona, Tokyo, Dubai, Tehran, Porto Alegre and Toulouse.

Failcon at Bangalore:


There's a reason Bangalore is called the Silicon Valley of India. Not only does Bangalore boast of a huge number of software companies, it also has a robust, active startup ecosystem, the biggest in India. Naturally, its the ideal location for providing a forum to discuss failure and ways to deal with it.

When? 

August 23rd, 2014 - Saturday

Where? 

Pride Hotel - Bangalore, India

How?  

Buy tickets at venue or online at http://india.thefailcon.com/

Why?

To stop fearing failing, and to focus on methods and the right attitude to deal with fails. The wise learn from others mistakes, and it's a great place to listen to others' stories, so you can not only avoid making the same mistakes, but also take away the coping strategies and learnings.

It's a one day conference for technology entrepreneurs, investors, developers and designers. Participants come from various parts of India. It's a great opportunity to network, pitch or brainstorm your ideas, or perhaps find your ideal co-founder.
