As we get ready for Wednesday, I’ve been thinking a lot about how sensitive it is to talk about mental health as a founder… 🙂
For many entrepreneurs, speaking openly about the emotional + human experience of building is still seen as “risky.”
Risky to your image.
Risky to investors.
Risky to how people perceive your capacity or stability.
But the reality is 👇
As Founders we are human first, and the cost of silence has become too heavy for too many people building in isolation which is why I’m genuinely so grateful that
@plexalcity opened their doors to host a private, invitation-only gathering for selected founders to have this conversation safely and honestly.
Special thanks to the CEO Andrew Roughan who has encouraged such culture and the amazing David Clayton and team for believing in my idea for this.🙏
No panels.
No performances.
Just founders being human with founders.
Ahead of the event, I’m sharing a few of the brilliant founders who have kindly given permission for their participation to be shared publicly: Sophie McGrath, Sandra Adu, MPhil, Rebecca 🦩 Leppard, Eda Yazar - please go follow these incredible founders if you haven’t yet.
The rest of the room will remain private, and their stories held with care.
I can’t wait for Wednesday.
This already feels like one of the most meaningful things I’ve ever put together.
