Failure happens.
In entrepreneurship, failure is the fertile soil in which new ventures grow. It’s the training ground for your next venture. It’s the master class in the school of entrepreneurship.
But failure is really hard to talk about.

Acknowledging and accepting failure is a major part of the growth and development of successful entrepreneurs. At RADIUS we recognize this and we want to help create an entrepreneurial community in which mistakes and failed ideas are celebrated. In early Fall 2013, RADIUS will be holding British Columbia’s first ever Social Entrepreneur Failure Wake – a presentation of several failed ventures and ideas followed by a huge celebration of the fact that the talents and energy of those entrepreneurs are now free and ready to create something new.
