For my 39th birthday, I want to break the mental health stigma by sharing publicly for the first time that I live with bipolar disorder type 2.

Dear founders, wellness matters more than you think.

As an early-stage VC, you might be surprised to hear me say this, but success isn't just about big IPOs or billion-dollar valuation.

It's about taking care of ourselves so we can show up as our best self every day.

The riskiest stage for a startup is before they have Product Market Fit (PMF). This is when the founder matters the most.

Once a startup has PMF, its easier to run the playbook to have the company scale (through external advice/hires/resources/etc).

We want to do "The Resiliency Summit" for @Founder_Pledge in San Francisco during #SFTechWeek in October of this year.

Title inspired by Nvidia's founder Jensen Huang's recent talk on importance of pain/suffering/character/resiliency to Stanford students.

Don’t have time for a mental health day? Or even a small break?

Sometimes a change of scenery can be the one thing you need to boost your mental health.

Work outside, it’s good for your mental health and productivity.

Sick days are a norm. They allow you to give yourself time to become physically fit.

Mental health days should too. They allow your mind to rest so you can come back with more energy.

[Founder Mental Health Pledge @Founder_Pledge]

What do people think about mental health days?
