Indian tech founder kills his wife and son, then dies by suicide in the US. > CEO of HoloWorld - a company ahead of its time. > Former Microsoft employee. > 44 international patents. > Expert in robotics. > TEDx speaker. But what’s inside? No one knows. Every time a startup fails, someone loses more than money - their identity, belief, dreams. Recently saw a video by Shantanu on how some founders raise capital, never follow up, then shut down like nothing happened. He’s completely right. But in between, we can’t forget the builders who are genuinely trying and putting their own lives into startups to keep it alive. We glamorize entrepreneurship, but never talk about the pressure, the shame, the guilt that comes with collapse. Founders need support - more than funding and awards. Why does no one talk about founders' mental health? These are the people building products for the world, while their own world burns quietly in the background. Not every story ends in success. Not every story needs to. Failure can be normalized. And it should. Over 26.9% of founders feel lonely while building - it was one of the core reasons of starting Trnch. As we progress, we’ve started preparing for founders only mental health sessions facilitated by therapy coach. Reach out for an invite to Trnch.

Everyone is building! Cool... But everyone is building alone. No one sees the doubt. the panic. the silence. Startups never die because they fail. They die because founders quit. Work gets stacked. Founders get burned. Then we act surprised wh
