Solana Prospera: Building Resilient Founders

The root cause of startup failure is often personal to the founder:

• 50%+ of founders experience burnout each year;
• 46% say their mental health is “bad” or “very bad”;
• 75% report anxiety; 54% suffer from insomnia;
• 35% admit neglecting their health due to work stress;
• 64% spend less time with friends and family, hurting relationships.

This is exactly why Solana Prospera was created.

Starting Point

The journey began with the {3S} Solana Scaling Summer acceleration program, which ran for 3 months in collaboration with the Kumeka Team. The program supported early-stage Solana founders through mentorship, technical guidance, and weekly product reviews, helping them refine their ideas and move toward real market readiness.

Among the standout participants were:

Stakenova – platform to stake SOL and earn USDC;

MnM – leveraged LPing on the DLMM;

Light – private DeFi: payments, swaps, yield;

Primeskill – Web3 gaming studio;

Joy – AAA Web3 gaming console.

The Real Goal

But acceleration alone is not enough. Founders can build faster and ship more efficiently, yet many still struggle with energy, focus, stress, and long-term resilience. This is often where even strong teams begin to slow down.

Most programs ignore this, but not the Solana Prospera Longevity Bootcamp from Venture Launch, led by its founders Ivan, Dima, and Taras.

Inspired by the principles of Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint, the Solana Prospera program was designed to help founders grow their startups while staying healthy, focused, and resilient.

Inside the Program

The bootcamp brought 36 participants to Prospera, a special economic zone on the island of Roatán, Honduras. Over 29 days, the bootcamp included:

• 60 wellness sessions such as yoga, meditation, workouts, cold plunges, and running;
• 25 business, community, and longevity workshops;
• 16 social activities, including snorkeling, charity events, cacao ceremonies, healthy parties, ecstatic dance, and plogging.

The results clearly show that the program delivered on its mission:

• 80% of participants joined wellness activities at least four times per week;
• 100% reported an increase in energy, focus, and resilience;
• 100% said they would recommend the program to their friends;
• 4.7/5 average rating across all program components.

Upcoming Programs

Solana Prospera was the second longevity-focused bootcamp organized by Venture Launch. The first, Solana Temple, took place in early 2025 on the magical island of Bali and gathered more than 100 participants.

The demand is clear. Founders recognize the problem Venture Launch is helping them solve: the need to recharge their bodies and minds, learn more about Solana, and build meaningful new connections. The consistent turnout shows that this blend of wellness, education, and community is not only valuable but necessary.
