AI House Founder Mental Health Affinity Group Meetup - Sustainable Pace Before the Summer Slump
Summer can create a strange tension for AI founders: everyone else may be slowing down while the technology landscape continues moving at full speed. Instead of waiting until you're exhausted to take your foot off the gas, we'll explore what a sustainable founder pace actually looks like. You'll learn how to recognize when urgency has become a habit, build a healthier weekly rhythm, and create space for recovery without interpreting it as falling behind.
You'll leave with: A practical approach to managing energy, workload, and recovery without sacrificing momentum.
Who it's for:
This meetup is a space for tech product founders to drop the pitch, remove the pressure, and connect on a human level. This event is not open to service providers.
Join New Tech Northwest Founder Brett Greene, PCC, executive coach and mental health advocate for founders, for a facilitated conversation focused on the emotional and psychological challenges of entrepreneurship.
This is not a panel or a lecture, it's a confidential, founder-only circle designed to foster open dialogue, reflection, and peer connection. You're not alone in your founder challenges.
What to expect:
A safe, confidential environment for honest conversations
Facilitated group prompts focused on emotional resilience, identity, effectiveness, and overwhelm
Peer insight and shared experiences from others walking the same path
Opportunities to build friendships with fellow founders
Whether you're thriving, barely holding it together, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here.
