About FlopHouse

Learn about our mission to transform startup failures into valuable lessons.

Our Mission

FlopHouse was created to address a critical gap in entrepreneurial culture: the reluctance to discuss and learn from failure. While success stories are celebrated widely, the valuable lessons from failed ventures often remain hidden.

We believe that by creating a space where founders can openly share their post-mortems, we can collectively accelerate learning, reduce common mistakes, and build a more resilient entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Our platform transforms individual setbacks into community wisdom, helping the next generation of founders make better-informed decisions and increasing their chances of success.

Transparency

Promoting open, honest discussions about startup failures.

Community

Building a supportive ecosystem for entrepreneurs.

Education

Turning individual experiences into collective knowledge.

Our Story

FlopHouse began as a simple thought shared on social media: "There should be an open sourced list of failed startup ideas for others to grab." This spark of inspiration quickly resonated with entrepreneurs who recognized the untapped value in startup post-mortems.

Ideas are cheap, but execution is everything. Sometimes ideas fail not because they were bad, but because of timing or team fit. If founders are no longer pursuing these ideas, why not share them—along with lessons learned—to speed up the ideation process for others?

This platform transforms individual setbacks into community wisdom. We believe that by creating a space where founders can openly share their post-mortems, we can collectively accelerate learning, reduce common mistakes, and build a more resilient entrepreneurial ecosystem.
