A coach, a clinician, a co-founder or a friend. Saying it out loud helps, and you don’t need a crisis to reach out.
Check in again next month
Well-being moves. The check looks back one month, so retake it next month to see what’s shifted.
This is a check-in, not a diagnosis. A lower score means more strain right now, not that something is wrong with you. The four ranges are Yuna’s plain-language guide to the scale, not clinical cutoffs.
About the check
The research behind it
The Founder Well-being Check uses the Entrepreneur Well-being Check, a seven-question screener that clinical researchers built for founders and validated with 314 entrepreneurs. It covers thriving, life satisfaction, your personal life, work, burnout, negative emotions and sleep.
Scored the published way
Each answer scores 0 to 4, and your result is the average, so higher means more well-being. Founders in the study averaged 2.2.
A continuum, not a label
The researchers chose not to sort founders into healthy and unwell. Well-being moves, so the check shows where you are on the scale right now.
Private by design
Your answers stay in your browser. We don’t save them or send them anywhere, and this page doesn’t record where you click.
A check-in, not a diagnosis
It can’t tell you what’s going on, only how much strain you’re carrying. If something feels off, talk to a professional.
