Maniesha Blakey

I'm Maniesha – a certified coach and counsellor. I support tech startup founders and teams, with leadership, resilience, and wellbeing. I bring lived insight into founder life, investor dynamics, and neurodiversity, alongside hands-on support experience in the startup ecosystem and in addiction recovery. My work blends evidence-based coaching with mental health expertise and integrative tools. So, founders can lead with a better mindset, confidence, and connection – to themselves, their teams, and their purpose.
