Mental Health, Anxiety & Stress
Today's Startup Founders are Super Heroes
Startup Founders want to succeed despite the risks and prove it can be done.
But, They Are Not Invincible
A research study by Sifted in 2024, showed that 49% of startup founders in Europe wanted to leave their businesses because of mental health challenges, anxiety and stress.

Mental Health
Being "On" All of the Time. Not Having the Answers. Tons of Pressure.
Sometimes, it's just too much.
Anxiety
Seeking Investors. Making Tough Decisions. Hanging in.
It's a lot to bear..
Stress
Performing on Demand. Rallying the Team. Achieving Milestones.
The daily activities are demanding and not so glamorous.
Let's Act. Together
