The Cost of Experience: What Almost Killed Our Startup

About

The Cost of Experience: What Almost Killed Our Startup is a startup event at Daos Hub Dubai in Dubai Internet City, Dubai on Tuesday 20 October 2026, 19:00 – 21:00 GST, hosted by Daos Hub. Entry costs AED 68; get tickets on Luma.

Daos Hub hosts a pitch-free panel in which three regional founders talk through the costliest mistakes of their companies: hiring errors, co-founder breakups, operational bottlenecks and running low on cash before a round closed. The evening opens with drinks and networking, moves to the panel and a founder-to-founder Q&A, and closes with more networking. It is aimed at early-stage founders who want to avoid expensive early-stage mistakes. A paid ticket is needed, with an early-bird tier listed.
