The second edition of the Fears & Failures conference will be organized by Impact Hub Bucharest on May 13.
Fear of failure remains one of the significant barriers in developing the entrepreneurial field in Romania, thus only 18 percent of the startup entrepreneurs are considering the business failure is a learning opportunity, according to the recently launched study “The Barometer of Romanian startup businesses”.
