Hey there,
So in the wake of Ilya Zhitomirski's really sad and untimely death this 
weekend, I'm hoping to look into the challenges startup entrepreneurs face
in dealing with life issues/insane amounts of stress/burnout/etc. that can
lead to depression. I was wondering if anyone from your list might want to
talk to me about the importance of talking about the mental health of 
young founders. There's so much pressure placed upon the shoulders of some
of these guys (and girls, of course) that it's no real wonder it might be 
really hard to deal with.

Anyway, came upon your site on the Y-combinator boards and would love to 
talk if you're interested.

Thanks,
Meghan

meetup. You can contact me off-list at john@jbarnette.com.
