Robby & Co.'s commitment to empowering neurodivergent initiatives is not only timely but vital. The challenges and strengths unique our work often require flexible resources, empathetic guidance, and, perhaps most importantly, a nuanced understanding of diverse work and learning styles. As the co-founder of Cognition Labs, which develops tools for dyslexic and neurodiverse readers, I've seen how transformative personalized support can be. Empowering founders through such an approach can spark new levels of innovation and resilience within this community. One of the biggest impacts could come from integrating mentorship programs and expanding access to capital in ways that accommodate diverse cognitive profiles. We’d value this immensely as I know others in the space would. From intuitive tech tools to adaptive funding and guidance models, Robby & Co. can lead by example. I'm eager to see how your venture reshapes the landscape for the neurodivergent!

For all my #arizona friends - Founders N' Funders is an amazing group. Time well spent to go hear from a great pannel of VCs and network around with what I'm sure promises to be future leaders from the tech community and investors looking to make dreams happen. #venturecapital #VC #founders #foundersnfunders #funders #investments #startup #startups

How to break into the world of VC? (here’s how you can get a glimpse) The 'VC Lab way‘ of doing things that they teach us at Venture Institute is action-oriented.
