Why We Built Silicon Valley's First Founder Performance Accelerator

Burnout Isn't Just Personal.
It's a Portfolio Risk Metric.

0%

of founders experience mental health challenges

0%

of company closures preceded by founder burnout

$0B

annual losses from burnout-driven failures

We reject the 9-9-6.

We cross out hustle culture.

We refuse to confuse exhaustion with excellence.

We're founders. We're builders. We're ambitious as hell.
And we're done sacrificing our health for our companies.

We move between boardrooms and blue zones.
We optimize for decades, not quarters.
We rest radically. We recover strategically.

Because longevity is our competitive advantage.
Because the best founders outlive their exits.
Because we're playing the long game.

This is the Pacific Standard.
Welcome to the club.

What Founders & Investors Are Saying

This is exactly what I wish existed when I was building my first company.

2x Exited Founder

This should be a type of compliance that is required for our portcos.

Venture Capital Partner

COO & Co-Founder, Series A

Founder health is the most underpriced risk factor in early-stage investing. This isn't wellness, it's due diligence.
