Dealing With Stress as a VC-Backed and Bootstrap Founder

Welcome back to “Two Adrians Walk Into a Startup…” In today’s episode, both Adrians - one a VC-backed founder and the other a bootstrapper - speak about the emotional rollercoaster of startup life, with a central focus on stress.

What you’ll hear:

  • Morning routines
  • Keeping habits under pressure
  • Stress relief through sports or music
  • Lessons from years of entrepreneurship
  • How stress evolves over time
  • New challenges that still linger

From looming product launches to investor expectations, product delays, and even the dreaded bureaucracy of bookkeeping—the founders unpack the everyday sources of pressure and share their personal (and sometimes unconventional) ways of coping.
