Founders

1/ I've shared this privately with some people and it seemed to help so sharing in case helps anyone else

There were a couple really tough years for my fund Scalar - crypto markets were down ~90% since we launched in 2018, we were outperforming but not by much and still a huge loss. It was difficult to fundraise (did ~1000 fundraising meetings)

I didn't have issues with the market personally since I'd been through a long bear market in crypto before but this was the first time I had taken capital from investors and hired employees as a founder. I felt an enormous sense of guilt every day that I had let the people who trusted me down

This is so sad, but what do you think you can do. 
What new moves do you think you can employ. Being bearish in the market isn't funny at all. But the people working with you also should understand how the market is.

2/ Climbing out of those levels required many multiples and it was going to be a long road ahead for us. It was quite difficult for some time and I ended up going to therapy over 2 years which helped me a lot. It helped me separate what was in my control vs not and to not be so hard on myself

Scalar fortunately ended up doing well but even if it hadn't, not being too hard on yourself when you try your best is important. Starting anything involves risk and people who partake in it understand it. And talking with a therapist who you resonate with can help a lot (not an overnight thing)
