Founders have neglected their mental fitness for too long. With the rise of chronic stress, overwhelm and burnout/depression – this is becoming an urgent concern. In some cases, it’s meant founders have had to close down their company. The mental fitness of a founder is the cornerstone of sustainable professional and personal success.
Securing funding for your startup marks a pivotal moment, but the true measure of success lies in the growth and scale achieved thereafter. This is driven by the investors’ return target, which for institutional investors is typically 5-10x.

For me, it’s personal. As a parent of a severely dyslexic son, time and again I have experienced services, notably in education, that were actively resistant to the potential of technology. To give a very small example as an illustration, my son’s school wouldn’t let him use his mobile phone in the classroom. Instead of allowing him to photograph the white board, say, to capture the homework task, they opted to pay for a teaching assistant to be in class to take notes for dyslexic learners. Technology could have empowered learners and nurtured skills for independence. Instead, it was resisted, and students’ needs were stigmatised.

Even among those with access, finding your way to the right services for your needs at the right moment is a ‘friction-full’ experience. It is a frustrating process for many and is often overly complex. In the private domain, it’s likely to involve a stress-provoking search through therapist websites. Friends call me to ask how to do it. Or have me do it for them. It’s a very messy terrain for people who aren’t familiar with how it works.
