Carol Dickerson is the founder of The Dandelion Rescue Project, building trauma-informed founder recovery infrastructure at the intersection of media, research, and economic systems. Her work reframes burnout as a systemic failure; and positions cognitive safety as the missing lever in innovation and ROI.“I build the infrastructure for derisking early deal flow using unmatched, research-validated relevance, that keeps rare minds from disappearing.After years in the startup ecosystem; and my own collision with burnout, trauma, and late-identified autism; I recognized a systemic failure no one was naming:the innovation economy extracts cognition without protecting it.High-capability founders, especially women, don’t fail because they lack talent.They disappear because there is no recovery infrastructure when executive function collapses under trauma, overload, or coercive personal systems.So I stopped trying to survive the system; and started building what doesn’t exist.I am the founder of The Dandelion Rescue Project, supported by Carol’s Lobby, Startup Family Farms, and RareChannels; a trauma-informed founder recovery ecosystem operating at the intersection of investigative media, outcomes research, and economic infrastructure.Our work reframes burnout from a personal weakness into a systems design failure, and treats cognitive safety as an investable strategy, not charity.We are currently piloting Case Study Zero-to-One (in the Peter Thiel sense): the first documented attempt to build trauma-informed cognitive recovery infrastructure for founders; and to measure whether rescued founders outperform replacement.What we are building:• Human recovery ecosystems for founder stabilization• Protected narrative engines to prevent identity and IP erasure• A future marketplace for trusted relevance and belongingWhy this matters:A rescued founder is not a liability.They are a force multiplier.St. Louis is our target charter region; and the proving ground for what a real innovation economy can look like when it values human sustainability.If you’re working at the intersection of media, research, policy, capital, or systems change, and you understand that belonging is infrastructure; we should talk.”
