Berlin. Creative&Tech F*ckup Night

What is it?

This isn't your typical networking event. It's a F*ckup Night— a unique space where creative and tech professionals share their real-life mistakes, failures, and the lessons learned afterward. Expect no polished success stories or LinkedIn highlights, just honest, human experiences.

What to Expect

-Short Talks: Hear speakers share their biggest f*ckups.

• Open Mic: The floor is open for anyone who wants to share their story.
• Casual Networking: Enjoy drinks and conversations with fellow attendees.

Who is This For?

Designers, developers, product managers, marketers, founders — anyone in the creative or tech field looking to connect, learn from others' experiences, and possibly find humor in their own missteps.

Speakers

Yuliia Kovalova — Founder at ChikiPiki
How to Get Noticed (Don't Do It Like Me)
Turns out there's more than one way to become unforgettable at work — and Yuliia accidentally picked the wrong one. A candid look at visibility, reputation, and what she'd do differently.

Dmytro Fedin — Founder & AI Automation Expert at Virno Digital, Senior Product Manager at Jakala
How I Killed My Startup Twice
Twice Dmytro built something people genuinely wanted — real customers, ready to buy. Twice he killed it himself, mid-build, for the exact same reason. Not the market, not the timing — him. He unpacks the mistake most "could-be founders" never admit out loud, and why it took two tries to spot the pattern.
