Events for September 24-30

The fall equinox was yesterday, football season is already in week 3. The year’s getting away from us. Try to forget that: Flavorpill’s StartupFix (curated by Wakefield), a talk about failure, a throwback in DUMBO, and a hackathon with ten large at stake.

	September 24: Founders At Fail, 7pm   It’s easy to forget in this Instagram-insta-success era, but entrepreneurs fail more often than not. Get an insightful reality check with Founders At Fail, when SeatGeek’s Russ D’Souza recounts a disastrous TechCrunch50 demo. Location: Henry Kaufman Management Center (Stern), 44 West 4th street, room number 11-185

	September 26: Digital DUMBO Throwback, 6:30pm   Back in 2010, Brooklyn’s DUMBO still felt like an emerging startup hub, and Digital DUMBO was a monthly meetup.

	September 28: Code for Change, 3pm-8pm   No, not change of the nickel and dime variety, but change as in making the world a better place. Non-profit and government agencies will be presenting challenges to devs and designers. With a grand prize of $10,000 it’s a challenge worth taking. Register for the event here. Location: NYU Wagner at the Puck Building, 295 Lafayette Street
