Building a startup takes guts, grit, and relentless energy - but at what cost?
Burnout among startup founders isn't just common - it's dangerously underestimated.
Research from Harvard Business Review shows that founder burnout doesn't just affect personal wellbeing; it directly impairs decision-making and leadership effectiveness.
When you're running on empty, it's harder to lead with clarity, make smart strategic calls, or support your team.
The pressure to appear strong, composed, and “always on” can lead to isolation and emotional fatigue. But burnout is not a badge of honor — it's a signal that something needs to change.
The good news? You’re not alone. The startup community is waking up to the importance of mental wellbeing as a core part of sustainable success.
Join us this Friday in Gozo for a discussion on founder's mental health!
