what almost broke me

fayl tales live is baacckkk

most startup events are about how people made it. this one is about how they almost didn't.

after selling out our first sydney show in 4 days, then taking it to melbourne, we're bringing it back.

the premise: three founders share honest, unpolished stories about the moments that almost broke them. then we talk about it.

this is not a panel. not a pitch night. no one is here to sell you anything.

just founders, telling stories, about their hardest moments, followed by a conversation about the messy parts of building and scaling. a chance to sit in a room of people who get that building something meaningful is rarely linear.

we keep the room small on purpose to protect the openness and the honesty.

what to expect

what actually happened, not the linkedin version

deep connections. high chance you leave with a friend, not a follow.

dinner and drinks. you'll be well fed and no one leaves thirsty

insane freebies. we've outdone ourselves

who this is for
founders, and anyone drawn to building who values depth over small talk.
