Co-founder conflict, not product, is behind 65% of startup failures. Joshua Haynes built Masawa, a mental health venture capital fund, to make founder wellbeing part of impact investing. This is TBLI Radical Truth with Robert Rubinstein. Haynes argues that founder psychology is a risk factor investors refuse to price, that the public health system will not solve the mental health crisis on its own, and that an impact fund which copies standard venture economics is just a VC fund with an impact sticker. So he rebuilt the economics: 50% of Masawa's carry is tied to impact, 10% goes to the founders, and anything above a 4x multiple leaves the partners' pockets entirely. Joshua Haynes is co-founding partner of Masawa, a mental health impact fund based in Berlin, with Sabine Flechet. He was a software engineer building clearing systems for Commerzbank and ING, a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco, and spent seven years at USAID in the Obama administration running a social impact technology portfolio.
