WTF is Startup Fxckups?

A raw, funny, and honest panel where startup founders share their biggest failures—and what came after. It's not about glorifying success. It's about honoring the pain that leads to growth.

This time we’re going deeper, by hosting it in a space that understands pain in a completely different form.

Why House Of OMA?

House Of OMA is more than a tattoo studio. It’s a cultural space where art, emotion, and story come together.

Tattoos mark moments of transformation.

So does failure.

This isn’t your typical startup event. It’s a shared experience between founders and artists—where pain becomes conversation, connection, and maybe even a tattoo.

Who is this for?

Startup Fxckups is for founders and anyone building something from scratch. It’s for the people tired of glossy success stories and hungry for real talk about what it actually takes to survive the startup grind. If you’ve ever pitched, raised, shipped, or failed—you belong in this room.

 

 

Meet the Speakers

• Donald Ng — Co-Founder, Mida.so
• Darvesh Daswani — CEO & Co-Founder, Payd
• Thalia B. — Marketing Director, ORA Group
• Riley Goh — Founder, Game Dates

 

Why you don’t want to miss it:

You’ll leave with real talk, real tactics, and real connections—plus the strange comfort of knowing you’re not the only one screwing things up on the way to building something that matters.

This round, we’re not sugarcoating sh*t.
We're talking pain. Real pain. Co-founder drama. Funding ghosts. Feature launches that flopped so hard they echoed in your soul.

To honour the agony?
We're collaborating with tattoo artists.

Yes. Real ink. Real commitment. Real catharsis.

🖤 No pain, no pitch deck
🖤 Come cry, cope, and maybe get a tattoo
🖤 Survivors get stickers

Block your calendar for 2 Oct 2025.

Just know: this one’s gonna sting – and you’re gonna love it.
