#VTJTalks: The Founder’s Reset: How To Build Without Burning Out

Presented in partnership with Saas Wealth Insurance

Building a startup is thrilling — but it can also be all-consuming.

Join us and Saas Wealth Insurance for an honest and energizing conversation about what it really takes to lead a company while protecting your mental health, setting boundaries, and staying aligned with your values.

This edition of #VTJTalks brings together founders who’ve faced the pressures of startup life head-on — and made intentional changes to avoid burnout, find clarity, and build more sustainably.


Our speakers include:

  • Dana Stephenson, Co-Founder & CEO, Riipen

  • Brandon Chapman, Principal, SaaS Wealth Insurance


Expect candid perspectives from founders, funders, operators, and ecosystem builders as they reflect on:

  • The personal toll of hyper-growth culture

  • How to navigate stress, anxiety, and overwork

  • Systems and habits that support founder well-being

  • What redefining "success" can look like in practice

​Thank you to our Presenting Partner:
