​Event Overview:

​Burnout. Anxiety. The pressure to constantly hustle. These challenges are all too common in the founder journey—but rarely talked about openly.

​This month, Aussie Founders Club is teaming up with The Komo Club to bring you an unfiltered conversation on mental health and sustainable success in entrepreneurship. We’ll cut through the glorified “grind” mentality and explore what it really takes to build a thriving business without sacrificing wellbeing - and what sacrificing wellbeing looks like.

​Join us for a raw and honest discussion with experienced founders who’ve been in the trenches, navigated the highs and lows, and found ways to build both resilient businesses and balanced lives.

​Who Should Attend?

​This event is for founders, startup leaders, and investors who want to understand the realities of startup life beyond the pitch decks and press releases. If you’re looking for genuine insights on managing stress, avoiding burnout, and redefining success, this conversation is for you.
