FreeHow to Overcome Startup Founder Burnout with Kari Sulenes
According to a recent report, half of all entrepreneurs experience feelings of burnout.
In one survey, 63% of business owners reported that they’ve dealt with or are currently dealing with burnout. The survey showed that a variety of emotional factors negatively impact entrepreneurs and accelerate burnout, including financial concerns (22%), work-life balance (15%), and day-to-day stress (15%).
As an executive coach, therapist, and partner at Alpha Bridge Ventures, Kari Sulenes knows these statistics well. She’s dedicated her career to addressing startup founder burnout and the stigma some feel around mental health in the workplace.
“People know what burnout is. You can Google it,” Kari says. “But addressing it is harder. Burnout gets sustained through shame and not sharing the challenges you’re facing.”
In a webinar for Founders Network Kari will share strategies for overcoming startup founder burnout. In the interactive session, attendees will:
- Learn why managing your psychology is crucial as a founder and leader
- Build resilience-bolstering rapport with your peers
- Learn the signs of burnout and how to mitigate them
- Explore commitments you might make to prevent burnout in yourself and your teams
- Gain access to resources to support your burnout-proofing journey

Testimonials
If you don't have a cohort group in something like Founders Network that you can develop long-term relationships with and discuss the same topics that come up with people that you already know, you're probably missing out on something very important.
David Plonsky
The number one advantage is the law of compound interest. The longer you stay in a very high-quality network the strong and more authentic relationships you build.
Chaitanya Vaidya
We know each other's business and we know each other's struggles. Having a personal relationship with other founders that is completely confidential and completely authentic gives you a lot of great advice.
Doug Lessing
FN manages my network for me by connecting me with other founders in my specific industry sector. I've been able to explore business development opportunities, partnerships, etc.
Becky Splitt
We just saw the first Mexican unicorn come to life this same week which is a fantastic idea. Being part of the Founders Network makes a lot of sense. We see that the Mexico City chapter is growing substantially.
Max Linares
There's a lot of great stuff going on even now in San Francisco. I've found Founders Network has been a great resource for me and for all of the founders I know during these tough times.
Jarie Bolander
It allowed me to meet people who had done this before that had the experience. I was able to explain an issue very briefly and they were able to give me a very detailed response on how they addressed it.
Terence Finn
I've used the platform to discover advice, connections, resources, discounts, on important services, connections to investors, and practice on how to pitch. The kind of conversations you can't get anywhere else on youtube or google searches.
Alexandra Greenhill
I see Founders Network as one of those necessary resources in the Chicagoland area.
