Sustainable enterprises are built on balance

Founding a business is demanding, and founders are typically full of passion and drive. That’s also where the danger lies: entrepreneurs tend to work long hours and are exposed to high levels of stress. This affects both personal well-being and business performance. We care both about the (mental) health of our founders and about their businesses. That is why we created a well-being program to help founders manage the demands of entrepreneurship and keep their lives in balance.
