NYC Startup Funeral on Friday (2/8)
- mrgreenfur 14y agoThis is hilarious and awesome! Its always uplifting to see people turn something bad (or in startup world "educational") into something fun and humble. Respect.
- ghurlman 14y agoWhat's with that useless static header? Very distracting. That said, interesting concept.
- kriro 14y agoLove it. Make the talks available if possible I'd love to hear some of these stories.
- danso 14y agoFYI, this is an invite for a speaker series at New Work City, which is a startup incubator. The proceeds from the $10 ticket price goes to hackny.org

- jofo25 14y agoGreat idea. A brilliant opportunity to learn from the mistakes of your peers and to help out others with your war stories.
- bdcravens 14y agoMight want to swap out the default Bootstrap favicon :-)
- bteitelb 14y agoVery nice, especially for NYC, which doesn't (yet?) have a culture of respecting honorable failures.
- untog 14y agoI'm interested to know why you'd say that? It certainly doesn't appear that way to me. If anything I've found NYC to live on the darker side of Silicon Valley's "everything is going to change the world, forever" stereotype mindset.
- rdouble 14y agoEverything is going to change the world of online fashion, forever.
- IgorPartola 14y agoSomewhat timely. I just announced the death of my first SaaS project to the users (https://www.pingbrigade.com https://www.pingbrigade.com): a web site/server uptime monitoring system. What kept me going is that people kept signing up for the free accounts, but either the free offer was too good, or the paid offer didn't offer enough of an incentive to switch. Eventually, the minuscule costs of running the service started adding up to a number I could no longer ignore and I don't have time to do the marketing to acquire paid users. Logically it all makes sense, but it is hard to separate yourself from your failed project.
- tsiki 14y agoAwesome idea, I wish this was closer so I could go. Learning from people who failed with their startups is as important as learning from those who succeeded. Usually the successful entrepreneurs have a lot of failures behind them, but in speeches often concentrate on what they did right, not on what failed. It'd very interesting and educational to speak to the entrepreneurs in a gathering like this.
- looper42 14y agoIts an amazing concept. I wish i could make it. I feel failures have more take away then success. Wish you all the best
- wpietri 14y agoIf there were one of these in San Francisco, would people go? I would, but I'm wondering how much demand (and willingness to help) there is.
- oh_no_my_eyes 14y agois this still going to be going on? nearly a foot of snow is being predicted for nyc tomorrow night.
