NEXT Presents: Alan Frei – 51 Failures Before the Breakthrough
Before building Amorana, one of Switzerland’s most successful e-commerce companies, Alan Frei failed 51 times.
51 startups that didn’t work.
51 ideas that ran out of money, momentum, or belief.
His 52nd attempt became the breakthrough.
This event is not a motivational talk about easy success. It’s a rare look behind the scenes of entrepreneurship: real mistakes, wrong decisions, burned capital, doubt, and the brutal reality of starting again after failure.
Alan will take us through those 51 failed attempts and explain what fundamentally changed the 52nd time — the decisions, mindset, and lessons that ultimately led to success.
If you are serious about entrepreneurship, this is the kind of story you rarely get to hear openly.
