Fuckup Nights Singapore is back for ROUND 15!
There's a lot of press around success, and not enough for all the frustrating, confusing, chaotic, hilarious moments inbetween.
Fuckup Nights is a global movement to share business failure stories in a candid way -- to destigmatise and explore the tough moments, to create a more solid foundation for innovation.
OUR SPEAKERS IN THIS ROUND (Bios below):
1. Steve Feiner - A Better Florist Founder, ex-Googler, Forbes & Huff Po Contributor
2. Sandhya Sriram, PhD. - SciGlo Founder, Scientist-entrepreneur-manager-blogger-journalist
3. Erin Chen - Lila Sutra Founder (Sexual Wellness), counsellor, ex-management-consultant
4. Simon Leow - Happiness Initiative Founder (HI), positive psychology
THE GAME PLAN:
3-4 entrepreneurs share their failures -- each speaker gets 6:40, for 10 images or 40 seconds each.
Then, you ask them questions: ask anything you’re curious about, that would add value to your night. Don’t hold back! The speaker will decide whether or not to answer.
You bring yourself. We bring the cool vibe, drinks, music, and kickass speakers. We unite at 7pm, break for mingling at 840pm, and reunite every other month.

Erin Chen - Lila Sutra Founder (Sexual Wellness)
Hi, I'm Erin. It's time end the taboo that surrounds sex! I dream of a world where sex, intimacy, and orgasms are no longer a mystery. I founded Lila Sutra because I believe everyone can have great sex - and beyond "sex", experience deep connection, happiness, and pleasure.
As a sex and relationship counsellor, I also work with clients to explore their sexual confidence, expand their repertoire, and/or address specific sexual difficulties.
I am total sex geek and have been since I was a teenager. I am also the co-founder of the Sex Geekdom Singapore Hub. Before Lila Sutra, for nearly a decade, I was a management consultant / corporate warrior. I am made in Taiwan and grown in Canada - east meets west!
Simon Leow - Happiness Initiative Founder
“When things fall apart, they may be falling in place.”
Simon rose up the ranks to become one of the youngest vice-principals of a junior college. That came at a cost. Two years later, he lost everything. And when he lost everything, he started to gain everything.
We often only begin to value what we have lost. Since then, Simon is on a mission to help others cultivate greater wellbeing from within. That is when Happiness Initiative (HI) started.
P.S. The event is free to attend but bring cash for drinks or donations.
