The dark side of startups: An entrepreneur sold his design agency to Salesforce after having a psychotic break

"When I was coming up, even when I was in my 20s, they still maintained that invincibility, superhero kind of persona," he said.

His drive for innovation was nonstop for 10 years. He moved to Los Angeles and started a video-game-marketing company. In Chicago, he founded an advertising-technology company. Debt soon piled up from traveling, failed startups, and massive student loans. By 26, he owed almost $200,000.Somewhere in that flurry of founding companies he landed on a business jackpot: providing cutting-edge design expertise.

That feeling soon spiraled into bouts of depression, anxiety, and panic. He said he turned to substance abuse, drugs, partying — "all the stuff to distract your mind from what you were doing every day." But for Roa, achieving his goal meant he finally had to confront his precarious mental state, he said.
