The Nervous System Vantage: The Missing Engine of Founder Performance

​Founders optimize everything, except the one system that determines whether any of it is sustainable: their nervous system.
This panel brings together leaders from sport, tech, investing, and human performance to unpack how energy capacity becomes a measurable competitive advantage.

What We’ll Explore

Scaling requires more than strategy. It requires a regulated system, clear decisions, and the resilience to execute under pressure.
Our speakers will decode the science, the lived experience, and the operational reality behind sustainable high performance, for operators and the people who back them.

Featuring

• Elite Athlete — performing under pressure, regulation, and repeatable peak performance
• VANTAGE Performance Specialist — data insights on nervous system capacity & leadership
• Former Google Exec — operational systems for self-leadership in high-demand environments
• Serial Founder — building companies with (and without) burning the operator
• VC & Investor — why founder energetic capacity is becoming a real diligence marker
