Founder @ I 💜 Failure | Entrepreneur, Optimist, Failure-Friendly Human
The guy who shows you how failure is not the end.
Cătălin doesn’t pretend to have it all figured out. He’s built companies, yes, but he’s also fallen hard, questioned everything, and started again. That’s exactly why people trust him. With over 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur and mentor, he’s learned that behind every “success story” there’s a messier version no one talks about. So, he decided to change that. He created I 💜 Failure, a space where people are allowed to be honest. To share the things that didn’t work. The business ideas that flopped. The tough lessons. And to do it without shame.
He also co-founded Voxa, Romania’s top audiobook and e-book streaming platform, taking it from idea to a company valued at 7.5 million euros. But ask him what really matters, and he’ll talk about connection, truth-telling, and creating room for people to show up as they are. Cătălin is here to remind you that failure is part of the story. And sometimes, it’s the best part.
These speakers are your wake-up call for big ideas. Come get your dose of inspiration.
