​You are the most valuable IP in your company! And the way you respond to pressure, uncertainty, and setbacks can make or break your business.

​In this candid session, fintech veteran Nektarios Liolios draws on his own founder experience and five years of work with entrepreneurs through The Future Farm to explore the often overlooked personal toll of building a business—and what it takes to stay resilient through it all.

​We’ll unpack the early signs that things might be slipping, share honest stories from the founder trenches, and offer practical strategies to help you stay focused, grounded, and equipped to handle the challenges ahead.

​No pitch decks. No filters. Just the space to invest in the one asset your business can’t afford to lose: you.

​​Who is Nektarios?

​​Nektarios accidentally landed in banking and spent 15 years doing “serious” things in a suit. Then in 2011, he stumbled into an innovation team—and never looked back. That twist flung him into the wild world of startups, where he’s been building, backing, and walking alongside entrepreneurs ever since.

​​He cofounded Startupbootcamp FinTech (the world’s largest fintech startup accelerator) and the Innotribe Startup Challenge (the first global fintech startup competition). He also built Radish Credit to help underserved communities finance important life needs.

​​But what really drives him these days? Helping founders stay sane. 5 years ago Nektarios cofounded The Future Farm—a global community for healthier entrepreneurship—and is now doubling down on that mission through Foundology and his newest baby, Pnoē: a space for founders and leaders to breathe.

​​Outside of all that, he’s a full-time travel geek and part-time sneaker freaker.
