Eugen Gross, founder of Aiconix, an AI platform for media content, tells us how to deal with the failure of a heartfelt project. After a successful foundation and successful fundraising, his company fails in the challenge of raising follow-up financing. In this Fuck-Up Talk, he tells you why the product and the company will continue anyway and how he deals with the ups and downs of founding, but also of failure. Eugen honestly shares with you the lessons he has learned for himself as an entrepreneur, but also personally.

Finn Peters, lawyer and specialist in insolvency law, will provide you with valuable tips and insights on the pitfalls that you should already consider at the beginning of your start-up in order not to be held personally liable in the event of failure - and to find the best possible solutions for your employees and the company. Afterwards, you will have time to ask your questions in a Q&A session.
