3rd Annual Startup Horror Stories

3rd Annual Startup Horror Stories Show

Lessons learned the hard way!

Every entrepreneur has one.

The pitch that bombed.

The customer who disappeared.

The pivot nobody saw coming.

The idea that seemed brilliant at midnight... and considerably less brilliant the next morning.

Join us for an hour of real entrepreneurs sharing the startup lessons they learned the hard way. No polished success stories. Just good stories, useful lessons, a few laughs and perhaps an appearance by STEAM Garden's resident ghost, Patrick!

This event is hosted by STEAM SCREAM Garden, with support from Innovate 518.
