@bdeeter The emotional & financial ROI of founders investing in therapy is huge. & for VCs, preventing just one founder conflict, burnout, or breakdown could be the diff between a successful and unsuccessful portfolio. @MoltenVentures offers every founder free therapy via Oliva Health.

It seemed easy and fun to be a CEO in the bubble of 2021 ...but it’s a dang hard job right now. Recently caught up with a rockstar founder/CEO in our portfolio and he shared that he’s been having a hard time sleeping and feels like it’s impacting his work performance. A couple others have been open about mental health/wellness in recent days. It really feels like we’re all just starting to unpack the craziness of the last few years and the lasting impact. Even more respect and empathy for all of you out there managing your teams through this. 🙏🙌 #mentalhealth

Lovely to be featured on behalf of Oliva alongside @mollystoneriver and Ally Fekaiki in this piece by Cloey Callahan about eroding trust in the workplace 🙏 #trust #workplaceculture #companyculture lnkd.in/ehpTmZ-4

I like it when shy people tell people "I'm shy". It shows confidence.

My friend and ex boss @robert22munoz created a incredible documentary about something very close to home. And now he’s winning awards and all over the TV 🙌

Interested to see the results of this one…

@davidcapple @huwllslater +1!! 🍻🍻🥃

@huwllslater Looking forward to #3!

Excited about 🇬🇧<>🇺🇲 travel reopening soon. The incredible feelings: 1. Winning over that key customer 🤝 2. Leaving a team workshop totally pumped 🤯 3. Reconnecting with old friends 🍻 + 2x long haul flights for letting your mind wander 💡 Nothing like it #businesstravel

Thanks for having me on the show @Tamasin_Ford !

@davidcapple @cristina_laki ❤️❤️

Very sad to share this news, and also very proud of my wife @cristina_laki for being vulnerable and brave. Hopefully her message will help everyone else who experiences a miscarriage feel less alone… I know it’s already helped me 💪❤️

@cristina_laki So sorry Cristina :( Very brave of you to share this ❤️

Today I had a miscarriage. Today I became the 1 in 4 pregnancies. Well to be accurate, it started over 72 hours ago, and the whole process is set to continue for a few weeks... 🧵

How are you doing today? I've gone through days at work where no one's asked me that. If you're having a day, I'm thinking of you. Mental health is so often overlooked. Congrats Team Oliva Health for launching to give employees access to comprehensive online mental healthcare.

@AGuedes @AGuedes 🥰

And then you have oliva.health, founded by one of each, @iamsancar and Javier Suarez :)

Fun fact about Barcelona's Startup Ecosystem: more often than not, when you join a company these days you will find someone that used to work at either @Typeform or @TravelPerk. And it's not rare that you find both.

Massive congratulations to @Ljungman and the whole Moonfire team. A huge achievement for a hugely talented team 🎉

400 days ago, as covid hit, we embarked on quite a journey at @travelperk. It was also a year of a lot of change and personal growth 🧵

@davidcapple @huwllslater @avimeir +1000!

@huwllslater @iamsancar @avimeir That was a pretty crazy time indeed! Can’t wait to reschedule that trip :)

Knowing @ryanbonnici as a great marketing leader, it's really nice to see this side of him being a great advocate for #mentalhealth. Big kudos! #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

@davidcapple @Suhail 🙌

@Suhail @iamsancar 👆

1/ I became "CEO" at 20. I dropped out of college. I had only interned somewhere prev. Looking back, I couldn't imagine the journey that would occur from writing code all day to scaling to 300 people. I got lucky, I screwed up a lot, & had a lot of help. Here's what I learned...

@davidcapple @chrija Christoph, I’m happy to point you in the direction of a couple of great writers (can’t promise they’re available). Prob better to ping me on LinkedIn as Twitter is a bit of a black hole ;)

@chrija @iamsancar maybe you have someone to recommend?

1/ I’m thinking about hiring a ghostwriter/copywriter to help me write/finalize/polish some of the half-finished blog posts that are sitting somewhere in G-Drive, notes, or just in my mind. I have no experience with this. Any advice?
