My problem: founders have no one to talk to when they're emotionally struggling.

1. Describe the problem:

I am a startup founder. My problem is periodic emotional burnout and a certain loneliness on this journey, especially when a project requires a long time and a huge amount of effort to get it off the ground to the first tangible results (on average, this takes 2-3 years).
During the "low points" (once every few months), there is no one to honestly and kindly discuss fear, uncertainty, difficulties, or failure with, without judgment. And at the same time, to get real emotional support to avoid abandoning my project, especially if it is promising.
I don't want to bother my wife and loved ones too much either, and my non-startup friends don't really understand my "pains." Existing communities and mentors solve business problems but don't provide the psychological support of a "brother in arms." I would like to have some kind of safe space for regular group calls where one can vent and get support from other founders.
Perhaps the solution should involve some sort of AI moderator that would facilitate the meetings and guide the entire group for the desired effect, and at the end of the meeting provide useful recommendations and assess the match between group participants.

Are you sure most existing solutions really solve someone’s problem well? 👀

1. Guys, I ve been noticing more and more often in the comments something along these lines: This problem was solved many years ago, here s a solution I found on Google in 1 minute .

2. Yes, most often, a problem you see on ProblemHunt at first glance seems to be already solved. And I fell into this trap myself. For example, for one of the problems on PH that I wanted to solve, I found at least three solutions in my search, one of which was created as much as 4 years ago. BUT after a call with the person experiencing the problem, it turned out that the existing products solved it at most 20 30%, and a lot still needed to be improved.
