Fail U Forward

Fail U Forward is a community driven platform where failure is not something to hide but something to celebrate. It’s designed to share honest stories of setbacks and rejections and lessons learned: all the stuff LinkedIn filters out.

📖 About

This platform brings those unfiltered, messy journeys to light. Whether it’s a failed startup, a rejected interview or a project that just didn’t work out: every post here is a badge of resilience. Fail U Forward encourages users to reflect, learn and grow by normalizing failure and building a culture of transparency.

What's next for Fail U Forward

I want to add anonymous posting, filters by topic (career, academics, personal) and maybe even voice/video storytelling.
