You know what's scary.... I mean really scary.... I mean more scary than The Exorcist and The Shining put together?
What's really really scary is when you have a wife and kids, and you quit your cushy middle management job to start a company and... wait for it.... you FAIL!
The scariest part of all is... THIS STORY IS TRUE!

If you want to play in this game, you must get very... very comfortable with failure. But how do you get comfortable with the thing that we as startup people fear the most?
In Boulder, they hold the Startup Wake.
We thought we'd take this one step further... Introducing Startup Horror Stories hosted by your friendly team at Denver Founders.
On Wednesday October 28, we're inviting some of the top minds in the Colorado Startup world to share their Startup Horror Stories. From bad business partners to evil VCs you'll hear some scary stuff! Then we'll give you an opportunity to share your stories too.

Our goal for the evening is to help entrepreneurs get more comfortable with the concept that a failure. Moreover, to help our friends understand failure not just part of the process; failure is your friend. If the goal is to learn, the more you fail, the more you learn.
But hey, if we fail at achieving that goal... we still have free beer!
Hope to see you there!
