FUN Sydney: The failures behind the headlines

From City of Sydney · Last checked 14 Nov. That's our last look, not a live ticket check.

Event details may change. Confirm times, availability and prices with the organiser before attending.

The lowdown

Three Sydney founders get on stage and tell the story of a business that went properly wrong, and what they took from it. Seven minutes each, then questions from the room. The night is off the record and nothing is recorded.

This time: Ben Rennie (Rennie Lab), on the day his front lawn turned into a car park. Spiroula J (FOS Collective): eight years of trust, six months of partnership. Robert Ian Bonnick: big dreams, one bad business decision.

FUN started in Mexico City and now runs in 250+ cities across 70+ countries. It is an honest, funny and slightly uncomfortable evening for founders, business owners and anyone in the middle of their own setback. About half the room comes on their own, and everyone leaves having met someone.

Hosted at Cardea, a live music and cocktail bar in Barangaroo. Drinks and food are available to buy at the bar.

Where to rock up
