The mesh Sessions – Stories of Failure

9 May ’06

One of the sessions at mesh on Tuesday the 16th is titled “Creating a Viable Web Business”. Chaired by my friend Leila Boujnane of Idee, the panel also includes Albert Lai of Bubbleshare, one of my mesh co-founders Mike McDerment of Freshbooks and Malgosia Green of Nuuvo.

Malgosia posts on what that group is cooking up for their session – stories of failure. A fresh, brilliant point of view to bring to the topic:

We’re all young entrepreneurs, and if I may be humble enough to say, know more about what not to do than anything else. What I mean to say is when you get something right, sometimes it’s because you really knew what you were doing, other times it’s luck, but most of the time it’s because you got it wrong before, learnt from your mistake, and got it right. So, what better way to discuss “Creating a Viable Web Business” than to tell stories about how you’re definitely not going to create one.
