Startup Fckup Event: A Night of Insightful Failures and Resilient Successes
In the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the Startup Fxck Up Again Event in collaboration with Forward Founder, Studio Kanta, Linked.Club, Female Founders Malaysia SEA, WORQ, Eventsize and Beamstart gathered a crowd that defied our expectations at Kantata Kuala Lumpur.
Designed to be an intimate affair, the event quickly surpassed our intended number, welcoming 70 attendees eager to engage, learn, and connect.
This gathering wasn't just an event; it was a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit thriving within our community.
A Night to Remember
The evening featured a remarkable lineup of speakers, each a titan in their respective fields yet bound by a common thread — the courage to embrace and learn from failure.
Muhd. Haziq Faris, CEO of REKA, Shermaine Wong, Co-Founder & CEO of Cult Creative, and Adrien Kent, Co-Founder of Studio Kanta, Kantata & Apart Malaysia, shared their entrepreneurial journeys, the obstacles they faced, and the lessons these experiences taught them.
Their candidness about the setbacks illuminated the path to resilience and success.
"Embrace your mess before it becomes a mass," seemed to be the unofficial motto of the night, illustrating that in the chaos of entrepreneurship, the bold who sift through ruins often find gold.
As the Startup Fckup Event closed, attendees left not just with fuller bellies and pockets brimming with business cards, but with enlightened minds and reassured hearts. In the gritty quest towards startup stardom, it seems fumbling forward might just be part of the secret sauce.
More Than Just Talks
What set the Startup Fxck Ups Event apart was its holistic approach to the entrepreneurial journey.
We delved into the importance of learning from failure, offering attendees not just stories of setbacks but powerful lessons on pivoting, perseverance, and the art of turning obstacles into opportunities.
The event also served as a vibrant networking hub, allowing participants to connect with industry leaders, forge potential partnerships, and find inspiration among peers. The diversity of the crowd — from budding entrepreneurs to seasoned investors — created a melting pot of ideas, dreams, and ambitions.
More Than Mere Talking
What makes the Startup Fckup Event a standout isn’t just the stories told but the connections made. Networking here isn’t a sidebar; it's a main course, served up with a side of eclectic comfort food from Kantata KL’s beloved kitchen.
Mingling over bites, attendees found mentors, partners, and even friends among a crowd that's as diverse as the entrepreneurial landscape itself.

The Startup Fckup Event was more than just a gathering; it was a beacon for anyone navigating the tumultuous waters of entrepreneurship.
