🌿 In the crowded field of psychedelic startups, Filament CEO makes a compelling case for 'natural' drugs. He argues that natural psychedelics, such as psilocybin mushrooms and ayahuasca, can offer unique benefits for mental health and personal growth. Check out the article:

🚀 We are delighted to announce the closure of our seed round! A warm welcome to Peak, our new investor, and a heartfelt thank you to our current investors and friends, The Inner Foundation, Unconventional Ventures, and Calm/Storm, for their continued support. In an interview with Impact Loop, Tiffany Boswell, our CEO, explains why she started Meela, how she never intended to become an entrepreneur, and how investors are (actually) keen to invest in mental health. "Personally, I hope that more impact companies can show venture capitalists that purpose and profit can go hand in hand", says Tiffany Boswell. With this funding, Meela is ready to take on new challenges and opportunities in the UK market. We can't wait to see what the future holds!

🚀🔺Today with Delta Ventures at Web Summit, for a #Talk about "Scaling Up Mental Health in the Startup Ecosystem". 🧠💡And how is the mental health of #Entrepreneurs and #StartupFounders?

Raising capital is a mental marathon for startup founders. The journey involves facing a spectrum of investor responses, from enthusiastic support to skepticism and outright rejection. As funds deplete, each negative interaction can chip away at a founder's confidence, possibly leading to hesitancy in approaching new investors or underperforming in pitches. To combat this downward spiral, founders must prioritize mental well-being. Read more about this in our newsletter (link in the first comment).

Finally an industry acknowledgment of how important mindset is to entrepreneurial success. Thank you Founder Mental Health Pledge for advocating for such an important cause. I believe working on your mind is as important as working on your business. It’s part of my everyday routine and it has helped me tremendously. A famous tennis player Roger Federer worked on his mindset for several hours a day and credited it to be the reason for his incredible success. Mindset has always been a critical part of PowerUp precisely for that reason. Our coaching program is specifically focused on addressing these challenges. Our cost effective approach allows to reach founders everywhere. Our first cohort is already running, three more open for enrollment! https://lnkd.in/dJr97RCS Thank you to Melek Capital, Open Opportunity Fund, Forum Ventures, Red Swan Ventures, Roadster Capital, evio.vc and Playfair for being first. Note: mental health goes beyond mindset. Not everything can be willed away. Thus it’s also incredibly important to make it accepted to treat our minds when needed, without shame or fear of being judged.
