Why we picked it
Data-backed reporting that normalizes founder burnout with real numbers, proof you're not uniquely broken, plus context on why the founder role is so hard on mental health.
- A majority of founders report burnout, with anxiety close behind, it's the norm, not the exception
- Most founders hide their struggles, even from co-founders, which deepens the problem
- Burnout is driven by prolonged output without recovery, not personal weakness
- Naming and normalizing the problem is the first step to addressing it
