Aide Health, a UK healthtech startup, has launched the country’s first AI-powered “medical memory” designed entirely for patients – promising to end the age-old problem of forgetting what the doctor said.
Between 40,000 and 60,000 women leave the tech industry each year, costing the economy an estimated £2 to £3.5 billion annually, according to The 2025 Lovelace Report: Unlocking £2–3.5 billion.

Just a few days ago, a conversation with a seed-stage startup revealed how a CEO snapped during a call and let emotions take over. It wasn’t a discussion about downsizing, pivoting, or negotiating with investors, nothing that could justify an aggressive reaction. It was a routine meeting on quarterly goals that suddenly went wrong, leaving the team disbalanced, demotivated, and somewhat lost.
Running my own business propelled me through the biggest trauma of my life. I was in a hospital bed the day after surgery, a bandage on one side of my face, having had my entire left eye removed suddenly due to rare eye cancer. My husband caught me on LinkedIn. “You can’t stop!” he teased. It’s true, I didn’t pause to take a breath. I continued as if nothing had happened. I plunged myself further into growing my business. And I realise now that this masked the mental struggle that was bubbling within.

Tech startups today sit at the intersection of enormous opportunity and mounting risk. On one hand, global IT spending is projected to grow by 9.3% this year according to Deloitte, driven in part by surging demand for AI and digital transformation. On the other hand, the rapid pace of change, macroeconomic volatility, and shifting investor sentiment mean that even high-growth companies can find themselves vulnerable.
Each month, Zubr Capital shifts its focus from daily market activities to gain a macro view of Europe’s tech investment ecosystem. It’s not just about who raised new funding or exited, but about the underlying patterns that could indicate future trends. We found volumes remained steady while the market tone turned deliberate. Familiar themes remained strong, with a few gaining momentum and several new aspects coming into sharper focus.
As founders, our personal resilience is the foundation on which everything else is built. In the early stages of a startup, you are your brand. Your energy, attitude, and clarity directly influence the culture, direction, and ultimately the success of your business. That’s why taking care of your mental wellbeing isn’t just a personal priority – it’s a business strategy that requires an investment of your time.
Are “Trumpisms” a masterclass in branding or a perfect demonstration of how not to communicate in business? What can startups take away from the US President’s playbook?
Burnout has become a silent epidemic in modern workplaces. Leaders across every sector are seeing rising absenteeism, falling engagement, and talented employees walking out the door, often without any warning signs.
As a small business owner and a business that also provides services direct to businesses (some of whom also happen to be small and startups), one of the things that I found the most stressful and that contributed to poor mental health when I first started out, was the amount of bad advice that exists and that is promulgated aggressively from other small businesses trying to make a quick buck from small businesses and startups.

World Mental Health Day in October serves as a reminder that mental wellness is about balance: mind, body, and spirit. But, for many entrepreneurs, mental wellness often takes a backseat to the demands of the daily grind.
Prepare for the unforgettable. Integrated Systems Europe (ISE), the world-renowned annual tech show for the audiovisual and systems integration industry, is back – and registration for ISE 2026 is officially open.
In today’s digital landscape, British consumers are increasingly stepping back from constant connectivity, driven by content oversaturation, “attention fatigue” and a desire for more mindful experiences. World Mental Health Day offers a timely opportunity for individuals and brands to reflect the ways technology shapes our emotional health – and how more intentional visual storytelling can help spark meaningful conversations around it.
Businesses are built on vision, courage, pace, and a generous dose of grit. But that momentum can quickly give way to self-neglect. The tendency to push harder for the pay off. But businesses don’t benefit when founders are burnt out.
