This paper explores the concept of entrepreneurial failure from a learning perspective, moving beyond the causes of failure to examine its impact and outcomes. Based on interpretative phenomenological research with eight entrepreneurs, the study provides empirical evidence to support existing conceptual discussions about failure. The research highlights that failure can be a significant learning experience, triggering higher-level learning processes that are crucial for personal and business growth. The study identifies three distinct forms of entrepreneurial learning outcomes from failure: learning that is fundamental in both personal and business terms, learning that increases entrepreneurial preparedness for future ventures, and learning that enhances the entrepreneur's ability to manage relationships and social dynamics. The findings also emphasize the importance of social and environmental feedback during and after failure in facilitating the grieving process and re-establishing working relationships. The paper proposes new forms of learning-oriented failures, such as transformative, generative, and regenerative failures, which can challenge existing beliefs and expand the entrepreneur's range of potential behaviors. The research contributes to the literature by providing a deeper understanding of the learning journey from failure and offers insights for entrepreneurs and policymakers.This paper explores the concept of entrepreneurial failure from a learning perspective, moving beyond the causes of failure to examine its impact and outcomes.
