The Ugly Side of Success: Mental Health & Resilience in Startups
This event is open for all founders investors / executives and tech community builders.
Yorkseed x Happiroom Presents: "The Ugly Side of Success – A Real Talk on Mental Health, Burnout, and Building Resilience in Startups"
Building a business, breaking into the venture world, and scaling startups may look glamorous from the outside—but behind the pitch decks, deal closings, and conference selfies, there’s often an untold story of struggles, burnout, and mental exhaustion.
Join us for a raw and unfiltered conversation about the realities of entrepreneurship, venture capital, and what it really takes to make it in this space. Co-hosted by Yorkseed and Happiroom, this event will bring together founders, investors, and operators for a safe, judgment-free discussion on mental health challenges, coping with failure, and the pressures of "hustle culture."
Expect honest stories, actionable insights, and support from people who’ve been through it all. Whether you're navigating the highs and lows of startup life or looking for a community that "gets it," this event is for you.
💬 Topics We'll Cover:
The hidden toll of entrepreneurship: burnout, anxiety, and loneliness
Managing mental health while chasing success
Redefining success and finding balance
Building a support system in the venture world
🗓 Date & Time: April 5th / 12PM - 2PM
📍 Location: 251 W 30th Street NY, NY 10001
Let’s strip away the polished highlights and talk about the ugly, the real, and the human side of the journey. Because you don’t have to struggle alone.
