our story

Note from the Founder

"My life was paved with "too" this, "can't" that, & "stop" these: Chris, you're too talkative, too disruptive, can't listen, can't follow instructions, stop moving, stop daydreaming, sit in the corner... I was always “wrong”. I always felt wrong. Now, I know better."

—Chris Wang,
Co-founder & CEO

Integration, not isolation. Collaboration, not competition. Innovative solutions blossom when we work with each other: we build with the ADHD community—doctors, psychologists, coaches, other organizations, and our members.

Growth as a constant

We ask questions & challenge the status quo, leading with curiosity. We strive to better ourselves and deepen our impact on the community.

It’s not enough to exist, we live to thrive. We are constantly seeking ways to brighten someone’s day, add sparkle to another experience, and push the boundaries beyond ‘ordinary’.
