"Ask Andy" features tips for launching a
new business venture while maintaining a healthy mind
Bonobos and Pie co-founder, best-selling
author of "Burn Rate," and mental health advocate shares personal
insights on mental health struggles as a business
founder
NEW
YORK, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fortune
Media announced today the launch of Ask Andy, a
recurring advice column for entrepreneurs, founders and startup
executives, written by Andy Dunn,
co-founder of e-commerce pioneer Bonobos and an investor in and
advisor to other startups. Dunn's column features invaluable advice
and insights on how to scale startups and handle the stress that
comes with launching and leading a business.
Ask Andy answers readers' questions about founding a
business, building the right team, raising capital, maintaining
mental health, and more. Ask Andy is the first advice column
from Fortune that takes a personalized look at how to balance a
startup while maintaining a strong body and mind.
Dunn, business investor, mental health advocate and current CEO
of IRL social network creator Pie, is the author of Burn Rate:
Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind, a memoir on mental
illness and entrepreneurship. The 2022 best-seller candidly
explored his struggle with building a business from scratch while
wrestling with undiagnosed bipolar disorder. He recently wrote for
Fortune on knowing when to quit your startup and admit
failure. Ask Andy can be found bi-weekly on
Fortune.com.
"It's been exciting to field questions from all the great
founders and builders out there," says Dunn. "They're raising great
points about company culture, balancing work and family, and
dealing with the challenges of creating a company. Startup life can
be the greatest thing AND one of the hardest things: I've been
there, and I am loving the discussion and am learning as much from
their questions as they may be from my 'answers'."
"Andy has built a wealth of experience as a startup and VC, all
while being keenly aware of the mental and physical toll
entrepreneurs pay on their journeys," says Fortune editor-in-chief
Alyson Shontell. "We are thrilled
Fortune readers can tap into his wisdom, candor, and humor."

Dunn will also be a co-chair of Fortune Brainstorm Tech
2024 Summit, July 15-17 in
Park City, Utah, where he'll guide
industry-leading conversations and bring Ask Andy live to
the conference stage.
