Just wrapped an inspiring talk at The Real Summit hosted by THE REAL Mental Health Foundation, created by Shawn Lesser.
I moderated a conversation with Brad Feld about how investors can destigmatize conversations about founder mental health.
Will share the replay when I get it.
72% of founders struggle with their mental health. Too many suffer in silence.
My new book Burn Bright, Not Out (foreword by Techstars CEO
David Cohen, co-authored by Django Degree) shatters that silence with stories from founders & investors.

Guess it's not a surprise that Trump hasn't issued a statement about the Emory shooting the other day.
If I missed it, please post it here.
Good chat today with angel investor, Jeffrey Jabon, about what he looks for before writing a check.

@anthonyha.bsky.social Hey Anthony, here's a good writeup of the work I'm doing to pay for mental therapy for founders.
Founders are struggling now and this project really matters.
Game to learn more?

@anthonyha.bsky.social Thanks for your article, Anthony. I was considering using therapy chatbots as part of my program with the Kabila Founder Mental Health Fund.
Not so sure now.

Wow
Haha!
I suspect there is an inverse correlation between the number of exclamation points a person uses and how genuine they are. π€
Great convo with Sharon Gillenwater about how she built and sold her startup for $25M without being an asshole.

Dinner.
Nom Nom Nom
Smoked short ribs. Smoked short-ribbing.
I'm back at it again. Paying for mental therapy for a US-based founder who wants it, but can't afford it, via my Kabila Founder Mental Health Fund.
If that's you. HMU.

3 things I learned since providing free mental therapy for startup founders.
1. There are a lot of performances about founder mental health on social media
2. Founders are shy about getting the help they need
3. We need to talk more about this to destigmatize it

I'm partnering with Techstars to give mental therapy grants to Techstars founders.
