Today on the Invest In Her podcast, host Catherine Gray talks with Christina Richardson, the founder of Foundology, associate professor in entrepreneurship at University College London, and host of the FounderFuel Show. With a background as a tech entrepreneur and former brand strategist at Nestlé, Britvic, and Mercedes, Christina brings deep insight into the founder journey. She is on a mission to support entrepreneurs through the emotional and operational rollercoaster of startup life. Through her platform Foundology, Christina facilitates group coaching for founders and recently published the Founder Resilience Report, exploring how to cultivate resilience in entrepreneurship.
In this inspiring episode, Catherine and Christina dive into the critical importance of resilience for founders and how it can be developed as a core entrepreneurial skill. Christina shares the mental and emotional toll of startup life, what her research uncovered about founder psychology, and how group support models like FounderCircles can dramatically improve both performance and well-being. They also touch on Christina's journey launching two tech startups, her work educating the next generation of business leaders, and why resilience is the superpower every founder needs.
