Very nice, especially for NYC, which doesn't (yet?) have a culture of respecting honorable failures.

I'm interested to know why you'd say that? It certainly doesn't appear that way to me. If anything I've found NYC to live on the darker side of Silicon Valley's "everything is going to change the world, forever" stereotype mindset.

Everything is going to change the world of online fashion, forever.

Awesome idea, I wish this was closer so I could go. Learning from people who failed with their startups is as important as learning from those who succeeded. Usually the successful entrepreneurs have a lot of failures behind them, but in speeches often concentrate on what they did right, not on what failed. It'd very interesting and educational to speak to the entrepreneurs in a gathering like this.
