we strengthen the company’s most critical asset: the founder
burn, but don’t burn out
let’s face it: building a business is hard. It’s like running an ultra-marathon without prior training or map for the racetrack.
72% of founders suffer from mental health problems and 65% of start-ups fail due to avoidable people problems and no one talks about it.
this needs to change. mental, emotional and physical health are crucial for founders as well as long-term business success. that’s why we focus on strengthening the business’s most critical asset: the founders.
we work closely with leading founders, accelerators and investors

After a masters degree in corporate management and economics, Gerjet worked for NGOs, a development bank and for 5 years as a product manager and UX Designer in various health and sports tech startups in Berlin. In 2018 Gerjet founded his own startup Skill Yoga with the mission to make yoga more accessible to a masculine identifying audience. After growing it to 15 employees, more than 1mn€ revenue and raising 1.8mn€ in a seed round, he experienced firsthand the loneliness, isolation, stress, financial hardship, and burnout associated with building a startup. His empathy for the founder journey and his training in yoga, meditation, mindfulness coaching and breath work led him to create support systems around the thesis that healthy founders equal successful founders and healthy returns.
