Mole x House of OMA:
Startup Fxckups Exclusive Merchandise

A special collaboration between Mole and House of OMA for Startup FxckUps Vol. 4: Pain Edition — where startup founders’ scars, failures, and resilience are transformed into art you can wear.

MOLE X HOUSE OF OMA: Startup Fxckups Pain Edition T-Shirt

This is not just a T-shirt. It’s a badge of honor for founders who’ve stumbled, fallen, and kept building anyway. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Why wear it?

Here's Mole Co-founder & CEO Melly Ling and Startup Fxckups Founder Jeff Cheok rocking the limited edition Startup Fxckups tee — loud, proud, and carrying every scar of the introvert founder journey.

MOLE X HOUSE OF OMA: Startup Fxckups Pain Edition T-Shirt

The design

Created exclusively by Waldo, House of OMA’s resident tattoo artist, the design draws on the nostalgic Tiger Balm motif — but with a twist. Instead of soothing ointment, this tiger embodies the bruises, failures, and resilience of every founder.

Central Tiger

The founder’s fight and survival spirit.

Flanking Tiger Heads

The many faces of failure, lessons learned, and resilience.

Bold, Unfiltered Style

A nod to Startup Fxckups’ unapologetic celebration of pain.
