đź–¤ The Funeral of Good Ideas
​A ceremonial send-off for the brilliant startup ideas that didn’t make it, and the lessons they left behind.
​Not every idea deserves a pivot.
Some deserve a proper burial.
​Join Sclr Labs and the Innovation Hub this Halloween for The Funeral of Good Ideas, a tongue-in-cheek founder ritual where brave builders eulogise their past failed ventures, pitch decks, and near-miss products. It’s honest, absurd, and entirely one-of-a-kind.
​Startup eulogies. Pitch deck bonfires. Lab coats. And maybe a few startup ghosts.
​What to Expect:
​Eulogies for real ideas that didn’t make it
​A special opening tribute to Clive Sinclair, the original misunderstood visionary
​Absurd themed drinks & afterlife dance set
​Halloween meets startup catharsis
​+ “Graveyard of Dead Ideas” installation
​Pitch Deck Bonfire
Say goodbye to that Series A that never came. Burn the slide. Bury the logo. Shred the tagline that haunted your dreams.
​A wall of “Obituaries”
Walk among the failed concepts. Read their stories. Learn their lessons. Add your own.
​
​🎤 Featured Speakers: (Live + In Progress)
​👻 TBC – “My App was too early... or maybe just bad.”
💀 TBC – “We burned $200k testing it, here’s what we learned.”
🧠Guest Tribute – Sir Clive Sinclair: A Pioneer Who Failed Forward
​(More speakers announced soon.)
​Why You Should Come:
​Mourn with resilient founders who’ve dared, failed, and dared again
​Bear witness to the ideas that shaped today’s builders
​Laugh, cringe, and nod through stories of glorious startup wreckage
​Join a new kind of startup ritual — part satire, part group therapy, part afterparty to celebrate the startup cycle: build, break, and build again
​🖤 Dress Code: Absurd Startup Mourning Chic
​We’re going for theatrical, tongue-in-cheek, and weirdly brilliant. Come as:
​Lab-Coated Founder – Guests encouraged to DIY or improvise. Bonus points for embroidered startup slogans or "FAILED" badges.
​Founder Gothic – Think dramatic eyewear, turtlenecks, and faded merch from defunct startups. Funeral-core meets pitch-deck trauma.
​Costume Flare – Dress as the ghost of your dead MVP. Bring your old logo. Wear a hoodie with your abandoned idea printed in Helvetica.
​Reserve Your Seat in the Startup Afterlife
​Only 60 spots available – members get priority.
​ 🔴 No door entries.

​Late Arrivals = Lost Moments
​At sclr, we run on respect:
For the speakers.
For the stories.
For the energy in the room.
​When we say doors close at the start of the formal session, we mean it.
Not because we’re rigid. Because we’re real.
Latecomers miss context. Break flow.
Disrupt the 'send off'.
​🪦 Build your schedule like you build your company, with intent.
Be early. Be sharp. Or be out
