Mental Reset
This October, 13 founders gather in the Austrian Alps for a 3-day Mental Reset Retreat. Through workshops, challenges, and deep connection, you’ll return with clarity, resilience, and renewed strength to lead forward.
As a founder, you’re admired for vision and drive, but the weight of pressure and conflict slowly erodes your energy.
While you’re busy fueling your company, the greatest multiplier of resilience, culture, and growth often goes neglected….you

What fellow founders say about us
Dominik Nouri
Founder VEOMO | Batch#1
I joined The Founders Nook to exchange experiences with other founders and learn how to handle conflict more effectively. It helped me resolve challenges faster, motivate my team, and build an organization that thrives on feedback—impacting not only my company, but also my personal life.
Max-David Falkner
Founder & CFO abaut
The Founders Nook helped me see myself and others more clearly, while learning tools to manage stress and emotions. It’s a powerful catalyst for personal growth, especially for anyone navigating the pressures of startups or leadership.
Karsten Miermans
Hemato
The founders Nook helped us become radically honest with one another, something that will prove critical in the next phase of our startup leadership.
Maurice Schweitzer
Bliro
The founders nook combines structure with authenticity, helping me reflect on challenges and translate them into concrete steps. Every session leaves me with insights I can immediately apply — a real return on investing time in myself.

The retreat is not the goal, it's the beginning of

The Mental Reset Retreat is the reset point for cultivating resilience in yourself and a culture that thrives tomorrow. But first, it means facing the hidden struggles most founders carry…
Task Overload
You are constantly making high-stakes calls under uncertainty and pressure. This drains mental energy and can lead to decision paralysis.
Fear of losing control
The ever-present possibility that everything could collapse dulls creativity and the courage to take risks.
Chronic stress and risk of burning out
Your mind and body are constantly alert. The lack of balance between effort and recovery threatens your health and your company's future.
Ongoing tensions
Conflict at the top is rarely visible but always heavy - unspoken disagreements with co-founders, investors and the team take their toll. Over time, the silence becomes as draining as the struggle itself.
Learn to cut through decision overload by combining intuition with clear mental frameworks that help you act faster and with confidence
Get to know yourself more deeply, uncover blind spots, and create a true mental reset that fuels clarity and authentic leadership.
Transform how you navigate complexity by training your mind to focus on what truly matters, filter out noise, and channel your energy into decisive action that drives meaningful progress
