Is Founder Anxiety Normal? Let's Talk About It
As a clinical psychologist and seasoned founder, I combine expertise in mental health, AI, and direct-to-consumer (DTC) commerce growth. Currently, I’m the CEO of Hana, an AI-powered voice platform transforming mental health diagnostics and care through accurate, data-driven insights that empower both users and experts. My commitment to meaningful impact extends beyond the boardroom—I also volunteer in war zones, providing mental health support to communities in crisis.
Throughout my career, I’ve helped bootstrap businesses to $16M in revenue, successfully raised over $3.5M, and exited e-commerce ventures. As a Techstars advisor, I mentor founders on growth strategies, stress management, and decision-making, with a particular focus on healthtech, AI, and DTC. I’m passionate about supporting founders, mental health professionals, and businesses dedicated to impactful tech and wellness solutions.
