What separates a ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ from a ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ซ?
Sometimes, nothing more than the ability to try again โก๏ธ and learn.
Research from ๐ป๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐ต๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐โ๐๐๐ shows that ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐๐% ๐จ๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ-๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ.
But thatโs not the ๐๐ง๐ย of the story. Itโs how most real founders ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ง.
Those who try again, reflect, and adapt often build stronger teams, make better decisions, and move closer to success with every attempt.
Startup accelerators and investors have noticed.
Many now look not for โperfectโ founders, but for those who ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ founders who understand why things went wrong and use that insight to build better.
As Chris DeVore from Founders Co-op (Seattle) writes:

โ The best programs donโt try to eliminate risk or failure.
โ
They create systems where founders can confront it faster, learn together, and turn it into progress.
At BRAINCONNECT Prague, we see ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ญ๐, not a dead end.
Because the real job of every innovation platform isnโt to protect founders from failure. Itโs to help them fail better, faster, and together.
