@gopirangan @asanwal Agreed. Trusted advisors need to be trusted on all topics, from business to mental health.

@asanwal Mental health is as important or more important than financial health. Therapy/coaching is not coddling, it’s one of the best forms of support. Role of a VC has evolved from project manager for brilliant engineers to trusted advisor for a fulfilling entrepreneurial career.

1. This isn’t the job/role of a VC 2. What founder is going to open up to a therapist paid for by their investor? 3. Don’t think great founders need to be coddled by their investors. Supported - sure. Coddled - no.

A reminder for entrepreneurs. You don't own your company. Common shareholders (like you) own what is LEFT of the company after debt holders, and SAFE notes, and preferred shareholders are paid back. Think about this carefully before taking debt or preferred shares!!
