Building a company requires more than strategy and execution skills — it depends on sustained cognitive and physical performance over time. Yet these biological foundations of performance are often overlooked in entrepreneurial environments.
This outdoor workshop is designed for female founders and aspiring entrepreneurs who want to understand how core biological factors such as stress, sleep, and energy regulation directly influence decision-making, cognitive performance, and long-term resilience in startup life.
Based on scientific principles from molecular biology and cognitive research, the workshop is led by a molecular biologist with experience in diagnostics and health-related fields. The focus is not on wellness or general productivity advice, but on how sustainable high performance actually works under real entrepreneurial conditions.
Participants will explore:
how chronic stress affects decision-making, focus, and creativity
why sleep is essential for cognitive performance and risk evaluation
how energy regulation and physiological limits shape daily productivity
early warning signs of overload that are often ignored in founder life
evidence-based strategies that can be directly applied in daily startup routines
The format combines short scientific inputs with a guided outdoor walking session. Participants reflect on the content while engaging in structured peer conversations, allowing for deeper understanding and exchange in a low-pressure environment.
The walking format creates an informal setting that supports open discussion, networking, and honest conversations about the realities of entrepreneurship.
The goal of the workshop is to help founders build a realistic understanding of their own performance architecture and to equip them with practical, science-based tools to build a business sustainably — without sacrificing long-term health and cognitive performance.
