Build the Mind and Business That Lasts
Private mentorship for founders who want to scale without burning out, combining neuroscience, longevity, and startup strategy.
Why This Mentorship Exists
Founding a company is one of the hardest cognitive challenges on earth.
Between fundraising, hiring, product pivots, and constant decision-making, most founders quietly burn through their mental energy.
I help founders build resilient minds and strong bodies using science-backed tools and proven business frameworks to sustain high performance over time.
What You’ll Get
Every mentorship plan is customized, but most clients work with me on:
Growth + Fundraising: Strategically scale your business without sacrificing yourself.
Focus + Decision-Making: Build systems that prevent fatigue and overthinking.
Leadership + Team Culture: Lead with clarity and emotional resilience.
Health + Longevity: Optimize energy, sleep, and cognitive endurance.
How It Works
Discovery Call (Free): We identify your goals and current challenges.
Custom Mentorship Plan: I design a 4–12 week roadmap focused on your priorities.
1:1 Sessions & Implementation: We meet bi-weekly for deep work, frameworks, and accountability.

She showed up to 7am calls and worked with us at pace to get our pitch deck ready swiftly and efficiently. Her commitment and real-world experience made all the difference.”

“Bringing Clarity Through the Fog”
Nina’s mentoring sessions were truly enlightening. It was a pleasure to learn from her own journey and to receive feedback on so many new topics we were just beginning to navigate. She offered real, actionable advice and helped us gain clarity on regulatory matters, investor relations, business strategy, licensing, funding alternatives, negotiation, pitch decks, cold emails, stock options, and much more.
Even when our meetings were marked by blackouts across countries, we kept going, and Nina’s energy and guidance never wavered.”
— Joana Caldeira, Founder, Fetalix

“Nina and her design team produced two powerful pitch decks for my two companies, OLYS and YNIOS Pharma.

“A Valuable Contrast to the Academic Lens!”
“Having Nina Patrick as a mentor in the Global Health Accelerator was a positive experience for our team. She offered a hands-on point of view quite different from what we’re used to in academia, which helped to open up new ways of thinking about some of our challenges. Our discussions made it simpler to see how relevant advice could fit into our own context, though of course, the process of applying it was left up to us. Talking to someone with practical experience gave us a useful contrast to our usual academic perspective.“
