What happens when personal pain becomes the driving force behind a company that's changing lives?

In this episode of Midnight Founders, we sit down with Thomas Wilkinson, founder and CEO of Cove, a company pioneering non-invasive technology designed to help people improve focus, reduce stress, and support mental wellness. Thomas shares the deeply personal experiences that shaped his mission—from losing his brother to addiction to overcoming his own struggles with anxiety—and how those moments inspired him to build a business focused on restoring hope through innovation.

We dive into what it takes to build a mission-driven startup, the challenges of bringing breakthrough technology to market, balancing purpose with growth, and why the best companies solve problems their founders have lived firsthand. Whether you're building a business, leading a team, or searching for purpose in your work, this conversation is packed with powerful lessons on resilience, leadership, and creating meaningful impact.
