Fail, learn, start over. Startup Lessons & Networking for Founders.
Quitting is a decision, too! Honest stories about quitting often have more impact than any pitch about success.
In conjunction with deGUT 2026, the German Founders and Entrepreneurs Day, founders speak openly about their decision to shut down their businesses. They share what led to that decision, what they experienced along the way, and what they learned from it.
After all, shutting down a business doesn’t have to be the end of a startup story. Sometimes it’s the step that opens up new perspectives, creates room for growth, and clears the way for something new.
For you, this means: real insights instead of glossy hype, and the chance to ask follow-up questions right after. For the speakers, it’s an opportunity to turn a difficult experience into a story that truly helps others.

For anyone who is starting a business, wants to start one, or would like to hear honest startup stories.
