Sponsor an entrepreneur! We are a Colorado-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting Solopreneurs & Freelancers. We offer peer support, coaching, workshops, an annual micro-grant (we received 180 applications in 2025 but could only fund 1 winner!), quizzes for self-exploration, and a monthly blog and newsletter.
Behind every business statistic is a human story. Research shows entrepreneurs face unique mental health challenges:
🧠72% of entrepreneurs report mental health concerns — nearly 3x higher than the general population
😰 50%+ struggle with anxiety — significantly above the national average
💙 30% experience depression — more than 4x the general population rate
😔 27% feel lonely and isolated — especially those running online businesses
💰 39% worry about money — making financial stress a top concern
We are committed to helping entrepreneurs thrive by building a strong, supportive community and promoting healthy, balanced approaches to entrepreneurship.
Alex Aryaan founded Mindful Founders Inc. in September 2024 to fill an important void: entrepreneurs face great mental health challenges with few targeted support systems. Research shows that 49% of entrepreneurs deal with mental health issues and are twice as likely to attempt suicide compared to the general population. The SBA and traditional small business resources focus exclusively on business mechanics while ignoring the human toll and holistic aspects of entrepreneurship. Mindful Founders Inc. bridges this gap by providing wellness programming, coaching, micro-grants, and resources specifically designed for the unique psychological pressures entrepreneurs face.
