We held a group interview with two of the organizers of the Failcon session of the GRAFFITI Startup Festival as well as a participant of the event to ask them about their thoughts on the festival and their perspectives regarding failure. We asked the organizers why they decided to choose the subject of ‘failure’ as the theme of the festival, and all interviewees were asked about how they defined failure and what they learned about failure by listening to other people’s failure stories. Let us hear from three students who would have pondered deeply about the concept of failure.
