exploring this tension between extreme devotion to work which entrepreneurs seem to think that they need to succeed and stand out and their ability to sustain the demands made me realize in how much of a catch-22 the industry is -- in some ways benefitting from the extremes that can come from mental health struggles, and in other ways really missing out on opportunities to perhaps better support founders and their teams by having more honest conversations around mental health and entrepreneurship, looking forward to hearing from the community.

it was a pleasure to work with founders, investors, and an organizational psychiatrist with different views on this topic.
