The Mental Health of Founders and Entrepreneurs
2024.11.28 02:31 reviewthe-1 The Mental Health of Founders and Entrepreneurs
Hey everyone!
I’m trying to better understand the problem space of mental health for startup founders and entrepreneurs more broadly. Would love to hear your thoughts.
I come from a psychology background, have been working in startups and VC for the last year and help my parents in our family business.
From Entrepreneurs that I have talked to, specifically in Australia, Founders and Entrepreneurs are at higher risk of mental health issues but have little to no supports in place. An Entrepreneur won’t respond in the same way to traditional mental health services since they have unique stressors compared to the general population.
Just to name a few: - they can’t clock of from a 9-5 work day, - they fail to take care of their physical health and sleep when workloads are busy, which lasts for longer periods of time in the initial stages of a business - there is more financial uncertainty - the time spent in building takes away from the support from family and friends
From my research, there is little to no support for this demographic. Accelerators, Incubators, VCs and Investors will at best refer founders to the same government support schemes that can be found online independently. Those supports generally have large weight times, are costly and/or don’t understand the unique stressors of Entrepreneurs.
With how much value Entrepreneurs provide for the world, I don’t understand why Investors are willing to invest in ideas but not the mental health of the visionaries behind them.
I have a few ideas for solutions to this problem space, but I am currently trying to map out as many pain points as possible to build the solution around.
Let me know if you have any thoughts and insights into this problem space. Specifically, I would love to hear if you are aware of services (private or government funded) that are trying to resolve this and if they have been effective from what you have seen. Why do you think there are so few solutions to this problem?
TLDR; Founders and Entrepreneurs are at greater risk of mental health issues. Investors just refer founders back to government services that anyone can find online. Those services don't factor in the unique stressors of founders. Even if they do, they are either temporary or costly or have waitlists. What do you think contributes to founders mental health issues? What solutions have you seen? Have they been effective? If not, why not? How do you think we can solve this problem?
Thank you :)

2024.11.28 02:31 xXCrimson_ArkXx If there is another album coming, how would thematic continuity work with GNX?
Something that’s been obvious with Kendrick’s album is the through-line that exists project to project, where you get a good sense of where Kendrick is in life and all that’s happened since the release of his last album.
Now logic would dictate that if this is considered a pre-cursor to THE ALBUM, that THE ALBUM would have been largely recorded prior to all of this, but GNX released first.
I do agree that there is sort of a precursor vibe with this album and a lot of what Kendrick is saying feels like it’s building to some epiphany or something (especially the last verse of Reincarnation), but if that’s the case then how does it make sense for the follow up to be that of GNX was written, recorded and released after that project was (assuming) largely done.
Only rationale I can come up with is that he was juggling both simultaneously over the last few months, and that GNX (the latter that was a spontaneous project) informed the former and led to some fairly extensive revisions so that GNX wouldn’t feel like some anomaly in his discography.
I mean, this is clearly being promoted as his 6th album, the follow up to his last album, not some little side thing, like compilation a la UU.

I'm a f3male character fan and I'm so pissed at this. We were going to get 3 of the best girls of the franchise (excluding skarlet) Hopefully this reserves them a spot in the MK2 roster, if it is even created.

I think NSH would be a pretty dry and sarcastic little shit, Pebbles acting as a stereotypical “YOU DONT KNOW MY STORY” emo, Suns constantly speaking in rhymes, riddles and poetry nobody can understand, and Moon just trying to keep herself and everyone else remotely stable.
Any other Headcanons I should be aware of?

Wubby, Wicked is a Part 1. It is just the first act of the musical. Part 2 is not coming out until next year.
You will be bothered that the story isn’t even complete after sitting there for 2 hours and 40 minutes. I suggest waiting til next year!
