# Founder F**K Ups

> A no-BS community, podcast, and newsletter where Founders share real failures, break the meta-cycle, and build startups that don't die. Run by Ben Bagg.

Founder F**K Ups is built around one idea: most startup advice is sanitized nonsense. Founders learn faster by hearing what actually broke — bad hires, co-founder fallouts, distribution f**kups, premature scaling, shiny object syndrome — than from another LinkedIn post about hustle. We run private in-person sessions in KL, a podcast of unfiltered founder interviews, a weekly newsletter, and 1:1 coaching with Ben Bagg.
