Startups demand constant decision-making, pressure-filled pivots, and bring big emotional swings. It’s no wonder anxiety shows up at every stage. But what if it didn’t have to be a liability?

At TechCrunch All Stage 2025 on July 15 at Boston’s SoWa Power Station, Dr. David H. Rosmarin, clinical psychologist, author, and Harvard Medical School professor, will lead a refreshingly honest roundtable session that challenges how founders think about fear and pressure. His roundtable, “Thriving with Anxiety: How Startup Founders Can Turn Fear, Pressure, and Self-Doubt into Their Greatest Advantage.”.

This session isn’t about “overcoming” anxiety. It’s about using it as a strategic advantage.

Transform tension into clarity and action

As founder of the Center for Anxiety and a nationally recognized mental health expert, Rosmarin has worked with executives, entrepreneurs, and high-performance teams across industries. In this session, he’ll guide attendees through a stigma-free, deeply practical conversation on how to turn anxiety into fuel, not friction.

Expect takeaways on:

• How to channel pressure into sharper decision-making
• Building emotional resilience to avoid founder burnout
• Leading authentically through moments of uncertainty
• Why anxiety may be one of the most underutilized startup tools

With coverage in outlets like The New York Times, WSJ, GMA, and TED.com, Rosmarin’s work has reached millions. Now he’s bringing it directly to startup leaders.
