Morning Fails: sharing about failure

At the 'Morning Fails' public event on July 4, 2019, students discussed failure in the startup process with startup individuals.

Failure is generally perceived as negative in the start-up process, but it holds learning potential for entrepreneurs and possibly third parties, such as students. In order to process the experiences of failure, failed entrepreneurs will be analyzed on the basis of scientific theories in the planned event. The event was planned and implemented by the students as part of a seminar by Dr. Verena Liszt-Rohlf.

The narratives of the entrepreneurs were used as a source of learning stimuli. Persons such as Mehmet E. Göker, well-known in Kassel with his former MEG AG, were analyzed, as well as other founding persons such as Coskun Tuna (formerly Mitfahrzentrale.de) or Martina Leisten (formerly Café Frollein-Palisaner). Two founding persons could be won as discussion partners, who discussed their analyses and learning experiences with the students: Christina Haury (Haury Solutions) and Alexander Hartmann (NaWi consulting GbR).
