your startup will likely fail. here's how to survive it ~ Byron McCaughey

Byron McCaughey spent 15 years in Europe working in sports sponsorship, Formula One and advertising. Did an MBA at Imperial College London. Built a fintech startup with his co-founder Henry. Raised £80,000 from 50 MBA classmates. Tried to crowdfund half a million pounds. Fell six figures short of the target. Then COVID hit. And they folded.What happened next?Byron became a psychologist. Specifically for founders. Because when he went looking for support after the business collapsed, he found that therapists didn't get what it meant to run a company, and business coaches lacked depth. So he spent five years studying and built Sublime Studios to fill the gap.88% of founders report mental health challenges. And sadly this probably doesn't surprise you.★Annnddd we just launched our newsletter!
