💥 What Are Fuck Up Nights?

Fuck Up Nights is a global movement that celebrates the stories behind the failures.

Born in Mexico City in 2012 over a bottle of mezcal, it began with five friends sharing their biggest professional flops — and discovering how powerful, healing, and hilarious it was to be real about it.

At every Fuck Up Night, speakers take the mic to share their biggest professional blunders — a failed startup, a job that imploded, or a bold risk that didn’t go as planned.

The goal?
To break the shame around failure, learn from each other’s mistakes, and create a culture where falling down is just part of rising up.
