BURN-OUT IS REAL IN STARTUPS, and the consequences can be truly devastating. A very driven individual risks severe overwork, that results in chronic exhaustion, sleep disturbance, irritability, poor judgement, illness, nervous breakdowns, and depression.

It is critical for mentors, colleagues, and board members to watch for symptoms and step in to break the cycle before it gets out of control.
