About FuckUp Nights
FuckUp Nights is a global movement that started in Mexico in 2012 and has spread to +200 cities in more than 70 countries around the world. The concept of FuckUp Nights is simple: breaking away from the stigmas surrounding (business) ‘failure’. The lessons we can learn from failure are often more valuable and interesting than stories about success. The majority of startups and professionals don’t create ‘the project of year’ on their first attempt, yet we rarely hear about their failures in books, magazines or at events. FuckUp Nights wants to change that by organizing events where people are able to come together, network, share, learn and celebrate stories about business failure. Want to know more details? Check out our online facebook community!
Why join FuckUp Nights Tokyo?
We would like to invite all (aspiring) entrepreneurs, freelancers and professionals who want to hear, share, discuss and celebrate stories about business failure. We offer you an opportunity to freely discuss the concept of failure, and learn from the experiences of others; all in a cozy and casual setting. This will be a great opportunity for you to meet new like-minded people and have a chance to share issues that you do usually not tend to discuss at other events.
The Fuck Up Nights Event Format
The format of every FuckUp Nights is simple: 3 or 4 people take the stage to share their FuckUp stories, followed by a Q&A, and ending with time to network. The presenters tell their story through 10 images, each projected for exactly 40 seconds. The stories are always structured in the following way:
1) What was your project?
2) What went wrong?
3) What did you learn?
4) What would you do differently?

1. Paul McMahon
Founder of Doorkeeper
Short Bio:
Paul runs Doorkeeper, which helps communities grow through events. He writes about being a developer and entrepreneur in Japan at TokyoDev.
Story Teaser:
Like many entrepreneurs, I have competitive personality. This has been an asset, helping me to persevere through challenges to meet my goals. It has also been a liability though, blinding me to the bigger picture and damaging relationships. In this presentation, I'll talk about a business I launched to great initial success, but was ultimately a failure, in large part due to my competitive nature.
2. Charles McJilton
Founder of Second Harvest Japan
Short Bio:
Charles McJilton incorporated the first food bank in Japan (Second Harvest Japan, 2002); established a U.S. non-profit to promote food banking in Asia (Second Harvest Asia, 2010); and, incorporated a public-interest foundation with the Cabinet Office to act as the national network of food banks (Alliance for Japan Foodbanks, 2013). He is currently the CEO of Second Harvest Japan and Executive Director of Second Harvest Asia. He also sits on several boards related to food security. Charles believes in applying business principles and entrepreneurism to address social issues. He has a rather unique worldview and approach to his work that sets his non-profit apart from any other in the world.
Story Teaser:
Fuckups are always premised on two things: outcome and perspective. His story is a gentle reminder of the importance of values to recognize and address fuckups.
