🧩 Autism/ADHD Startup: AutiHD
Chatting with Joël Schmit, Founder.
In this Collective VC episode, I chatted with Joël Schmit, founder of AutiHD. We explored the intricacies of daily life with Autism and ADHD, something close to my heart, in much more detail than our initial three-minute pitch competition allowed. AutiHD pitched in our competition event in April. Recap here: (https://lnkd.in/ezGnrWWu)
Joël sheds light on the daily experiences of neurodivergent people, the backwards elements of healthcare systems, and frustrations in workplace environments. Joel's experiences eventually culminated in something incredible: launching a startup in the highly complex healthcare sector to support those with Autism and ADHD.
From discussing the critical need for timely support to sharing strategies for inclusive hiring practices, this episode offers a comprehensive look at AUTIHD's mission. Seeking to empower individuals with ASD and ADHD, Joel's journey from personal diagnosis to a startup is a great example of purposeful entrepreneurship.
Whether you want to build in this space or not, you'll gain valuable perspectives on understanding neurodiversity even just a little better than before.
