Breaking the silence around founder stress and pressure

For far too long the stresses of founderhood have been felt behind closed doors, yet it’s at epidemic levels and that does nothing for the health of our founders or our startups.

This session will kick off with an opening keynote from Christina Richardson who will share her mental-health journey as a tech founder and how this led to the first European research on the extreme pressures of entrepreneurship. The results don’t make light reading and so our panel will dive into why being a founder is so filled with pressures and what we can all do - collectively as an ecosystem - to fuel our founders to thrive, not just survive on the growth journey.
