• 3x more likely to suffer from substance abuse• 2x more likely to have psychiatric hospitalizationData like this provides a new challenge for venture capitalists and investors. It also suggests that human sustainability should be a central component of any investment strategy. Establishing mental health awareness in both the personal and the professional lives of their founders extends to business areas like scalability and growth and self-management.
Resiliency in the path of human sustainability needs to focus on three major areas. First, the VC community must recognize that the stigma related to mental health is something that needs to be dealt with. Entrepreneurs must feel comfortable knowing that mental health issues within the context of their work life can be addressed just as readily and openly as any questions around direct business concerns because they are intimately related.
