Review: ‘Starting a business without burning out’ – LEMEX at Start-up Week 2025

Last Tuesday, we had the opportunity to discuss a topic that is often overlooked with founders, investors and scientists at the Forum am Domshof: mental health in the context of start-ups. 💬

Under the motto ‘Starting a business without burning out,’ our experts had an honest and open discussion about mental challenges, self-care, and ways to become more resilient in everyday start-up life.

 

✨ A big thank you to our inspiring guests:

- Viktoria Theoharova (Founder of Huddy, @huddy_official)
- William Chitangala (Founder of studio—chitangala)
- Dr Heinz Kierchoff (Investor at D2D4)
- Prof. Dr Julia Kensbock (Psychologist and Professor, University of Bremen)
- Moderator: Teddy Lange (LEMEX team)

 

💡 Our takeaways:

- Mental balance is not a weakness, but a factor for success

- Sustainable entrepreneurship begins with mindfulness and self-care
- Open discussions create awareness and connect the start-up community in Bremen

A big thank you to all participants for the open exchange and valuable insights! 💚🚀
