Summary

What is a VC’s role in founder mental health? Can there be a more compassionate VC? Founders feel increased stress once they receive VC money. Why and how can this be reduced? “I can relate to our founders, I’ve been through this.” Noa Matz isn’t a business builder, but a VC and startup psychologist. Investors have a role to play in our ecosystem but have often struggled with the subject. Noa is an investor who has ‘seen the light’. A VC startup psychologist and partner at F2 Venture Capital, one of Israel’s most important VC firms, Noa is dedicated to mentally supporting startup founders, understanding startup team dynamics, and coaching founders through changes for peak performance. She joins Vladi and Nektarios to talk about the playbook she has developed for VCs, and how it can be applied to working with founders who are struggling with their mental health and are reluctant to open up. We discuss the investor community but also shift our focus to founders and the importance of the relationship between investor and founder. You can find out more about Noa’s work at F2 Venture Capital via the website or LinkedIn and connect with her on LinkedIn or Facebook. Don’t forget to subscribe, follow, rate and review NAKED.
