Startup Weekend - Building for ADHD

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to push myself outside my comfort zone, participating in a 56-hour Techstars Startup Weekend with 140+ brilliant minds at Platform Calgary.

It was a crazy experience of intense brainstorming, collaboration, and creativity, giving me my first real taste of how a startup is born, pivoted, and evolved into a solution ready for the world.

I’m incredibly proud of our team! Despite the pressure, we stayed resilient and stuck together, driven by a shared mission: to support individuals with ADHD in reducing cognitive overload at work. We developed an app that helps manage tasks, reduce context-switching fatigue, and ultimately boost productivity.

Kudos to my team: Mohamed Magan, Nicole Henderson, PMP, Patrician Todinescu, Peter Kuchel, Shiva Souri, Shema Khan PMP, PSM, AWS, Surya Murugaian, and Tabitha Maru.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this unforgettable experience. Your passion and dedication were inspiring! As Henry Ford said, “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”

A special shoutout to Angela Henders and Craig Elias. Truly remarkable people who supported and inspired us greatly along this journey!
