Mental health as a founder: the path forward

This is a recording of the Virgin StartUp MeetUp that took place in November 2020. Get your tickets to our next MeetUp from virginstartup.org/events.

Being a startup founder can be vitalising, rewarding, and ultimately fulfilling - but the job comes with incredible responsibility, long hours, isolation and stress. We all need support in managing our mental wellbeing - and this starts with an honest conversation about it.

At this MeetUp, our host, Virgin StartUp advisor and founder of Rebel Book Club, Ben Keene, spoke honestly with our panellists about their experience balancing their well-being with flourishing founder careers.

Featuring:

• Pip Jamieson, founder of professional online network for creatives, The Dots
• James Routledge, founder of Sanctus, a brand on a mission to help employers tackle mental health in the workplace better
• Sandra de Monte, founder of technology platform for psychotherapy, counselling and coaching, MindBerry
