Fuckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories of professional failure. Each month, in events across the globe, we get three to four people to get up in front of a room full of strangers to share their own professional fuckup. The stories of the business that crashes and burns, the partnership deal that goes sour, the product that has to be recalled, we tell them all.
Station Houston aims to transform Houston into a world-leading hub for technology innovation and entrepreneurship, and our recent partnership with Microsoft and Intel allows us to scale this mission exponentially.
The accelerator will feature six months of pilot programs for companies developing smart city technology. It’s a broad tech sector aimed at using data to solve problems that plague cities, like reducing traffic and congestion or improving flood mitigation.
Attend our launch event to get a sneak peek of what Station Houston has in store for the IoT Smart Cities Accelerator and to how to get involved.
