OUR PURPOSE
Every person with ADHD reaches
their full potential, their way
Our story
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”.

—Chris Wang, Co-founder & CEO

Meet the Core Team

Christal Wang
CEO & Co-founder
Chris was pursuing her dual degree in MBA & MPH from University of California Berkeley Haas when she was diagnosed with ADHD & took a leave to start Shimmer. She is all things social impact & consumer — she’s worked at Bain & Co. advising fortune 100 companies on social impact strategy and launched consumer startups all over the world. Now, she’s finally where she belongs.

“I was diagnosed with ADHD this year. A 10,000 lb weight was lifted off my shoulders. I finally had an explanation.”
Vikram Sreedhar
CTO & Co-founder
Vikram is an alumni from Stanford University and previously held roles as a SWE/PM at Salesforce before leaving to start Shimmer. He loves bridging his web and application development expertise with his passion for social impact. He also co-founded a non-profit that teaches high school students skills to aid nonprofits.

“I know first-hand how isolating it can feel when you don’t feel like anyone can relate to the your struggles and challenges. I’m hoping that our platform can support you in navigating these obstacles and show you that you’re not alone.”
Molisha Shah
Founder Associate
Molisha is a student at UC Berkeley studying Cognitive Science and Business Administration. She dreams to combine these disciplines to promote greater equity and accessibility in the mental healthcare space. Prior to Shimmer, she co-founded a social enterprise focused on providing personal, social, health education to the youth of India through illustrated children’s books.

“In our society, we are quick to forget the stake we have in our own lives. I love that Shimmer empowers its members to take ownership of their journey - their way. It is made for you, by you, and that is the most special thing about it!”

Our guiding values

Unconditional positive regard
We’re proud to foster an environment where each individual’s unique lived experiences is not only respected but celebrated. We’re designed for all.
Stronger together
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.
The Shimmer factor
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’.
