ADHD for startup founders
ADHD startup founders stuck between fifty brilliant ideas and one unwritten pitch deck..
What's actually hard
- •Drowning in high-stakes decisions while freezing on a two-line investor update email
- •Oscillating between visionary strategy and terrifying operational admin until paralysis sets in
- •Abandoning half-built decks, roadmaps, and pitch scripts the moment novelty fades
How Spark fits into your day
- Draft a blunt three-bullet investor update using the concise monthly report template
- Run a 2-minute starter to outline just the problem statement slide for your pitch deck
- Kick off a focus sprint to draft the top three priority items for this week's sprint
Break the freeze at your desk
Spark helps ADHD founders bridge the gap between vision and execution by shrinking overwhelming business milestones into immediate, low-friction momentum. 2-minute first moves, on your phone, no planning required.
Transition between tasks with a short ritual: close the previous task, take a 2-minute movement break, and name the next first step. The ritual gives the brain a bridge between two different mental states. Without it, the previous task lingers and the next one never starts.
Study with ADHD by breaking the session into 10-minute sprints with one clear question per sprint. The freeze comes from 'learn all of this' — a goal too vague to start. One question, one sprint, one reward makes the material approachable.
