Neurodivergent founder, 11 years of struggling, now building solutions
"For 11 years, I fought with my brain every single day. Tools that worked for everyone else felt like torture for me. I was brilliant at solving complex problems but couldn't manage my own calendar. I could build amazing things but fell apart when someone said
'just focus.'
I tried everything — productivity apps, therapy, medication, motivational videos. Nothing understood that my brain wasn't broken, it was just different. So I built what I desperately needed: an AI companion that gets it."
11 years of being told to "just focus harder" while my brain scattered in 47 different directions
My brain isn't broken — the tools are. I needed something that understood my patterns, not judged them
