Entrepreneurs are particularly vulnerable to mental health challenges. The hyper-speed of startup culture doesn’t lend itself well to pausing and taking a moment to be aware of your mental health. That’s why we’ve decided to bring the startup community together, hear from entrepreneurs, and learn some tips from mental health experts.

You’ll hear from:

• Nadia Laabs, COO of SafetyNet Technologies
• Kshitij Jha, Founder of Kavacha
• Jason Gillham, Founder of Grand River Robotics
• Senator Stan Kutcher, Mental Health Clinician

You can look forward to meeting these three innovative founders who are willing to be open and honest about the challenges they have seen and faced starting a company. Our moderator will help us dive deep into why startups are particularly vulnerable to these challenges and share some advice for creating a more psychologically sustainable startup culture. You are encouraged to join the networking session to ask your questions and share your thoughts following the panel.

Save a space in your calendar and we’ll see you on Tuesday, December 8 at 12:30- 2:00 AST to talk about mental health for entrepreneurs!

More details coming soon!
