Contrary to popular opinion, failure is not just for losers. Even the people known for being "winners" go through some epic missteps along the way. It's just that people don't often talk about it -- especially not in the tech industry, or the press that covers it. So TechCrunch has created Fail Week, a five day long video series that shines some light on the dark days that even the most successful entrepreneurs go through. On Monday we featured Tim Draper, who talked about being in debt to the government to the tune of $6 million; yesterday we featured Kevin Ryan, who talked about losing "total credibility" as DoubleClick's CEO when he had to lay of hundreds of dedicated employees during the first dot-com bust. And today, we're hearing from Mariam Naficy, the CEO of design marketplace and stationery maker Minted.
