inQuestion about the sudden emphasis on founder mental health in startup culture
Last year, a study from Stanford found that 72% of founders reported mental health issues directly linked to their work. But in practice, I've seen startups still glorify all-nighters and constant availability, which undermines any official policies. What's rarely discussed is how venture capital terms often incentivize reckless growth over sustainable practices, putting founders in impossible binds. Until investors align metrics with well-being, these mental health initiatives might just be window dressing.
