Tackle insomnia with this Teddy-like Bear device instead of taking pills with Julian Jagtenberg from Somnox

Julian Martijn is the founder of Somnox - a revolutionary product that helps people sleep better. But before Julian created Somnox, he had a brief music career. In fact, one of the songs he co-produced made it in the top 40 of the Dutch pop charts. That’s right - he’s a rock star slash startup founder. 

In this conversation Julian shares

  • How they burned a lot of cash with the wrong advertising in the US market
  • Why he chose to forego a music career and decided to focus on engineering
  • The importance of sleep for mental health and how to stay sane as a founder in times of turmoil

Check it out and let me know what you think!
