We empower leaders to build the company of their dreams with ease

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.

72% of founders suffer from mental health problems and 65% of start-ups fail due to avoidable people problems. While hustling is still the norm, science has shown that it doesn’t deliver the best outcomes.

Our mission is to empower ambitious founders and leaders through tailored, holistic training in the areas of health, leadership, and personal development to build the company of their dreams with ease.

we work closely with leading founders, accelerators and investors

Meet the Team

We are a team of founders and professional psychologists who have experienced the life-impacts of entrepreneurship first hand. Our mission is to make your journey easier.

  • Natascha started promoting health in multiple settings and levels from the very first moment in her career. Being trained in business and health psychology (M.Sc.), she supported healthy school environments, coached future executives, and worked as an advisor to improve working conditions for corporate businesses. As an active member of the Berlin based startup ecosystem with specific focus on digital health innovation, Natascha closely works together with visionary founders and ambitious change makers to drive next generation healthcare. Having struggled with challenging health conditions herself, to date Natascha continuously combines and applies the latest scientific knowledge, practical tools and interdisciplinary treatment methods. She personally experiences the huge positive impact of health promoting thoughts and behaviors on a daily level.


  • 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.
