Failed Startups of Today’s Billionaires: Lessons in Resilience Ever heard of Zip2 or Odeo? Probably not. Yet, these "failed" ventures laid the groundwork for Elon Musk's Tesla and Twitter or Jack Dorsey's Twitter resurgence. Did you know Jeff Bezos’ first auction platform Amazon Auctions flopped before Amazon became the global behemoth it is today? Failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s a stepping stone. Most of today’s billionaires didn’t get it right on the first try. They faced rejected ideas, collapsing companies, and near-bankruptcy moments. Yet, instead of giving up, they pivoted, learned, and kept going. Their stories remind us that failure isn’t the end—it’s a chance to start over, wiser. So, whether you're building a business, chasing a dream, or simply trying to figure it all out, remember this: Every setback is a setup for a comeback.
