About this listen
In this episode of ADHD Founders, hosts Jesse, Marie, and Sharon dive into personal stories and practical insights from their lives as ADHD entrepreneurs.
What you'll hear about:
* Jesse’s first-time experience speaking at SXSW, plus the sensory overload (and perks!) of attending with a platinum badge
* A candid look at missed opportunities and promoting early-stage products at big events
* Marie’s unexpected journey into fundraising via Twitter (X) and joining an accelerator
* Sharon’s unique fundraising path, including early support from Sam Altman
* A breakdown of what accelerators like Y Combinator offer—beyond the money
* Thoughts on idea execution vs. inspiration, and why “idea guys” rarely get funded
Whether you're curious about startup fundraising or just want real talk from founders with ADHD, this one’s packed with insights and laughs.
