Hey there,

We're excited to announce a new main stage session for ND26: Founder Hot Seat: Neurodivergent Founders Pitch Their Business.

What Is It?

A Shark Tank-style session where entrepreneurial attendees share their businesses and receive feedback—but make it friendly and welcoming! Instead of tearing people down, it's about helping neurodivergent founders get real, actionable advice on growing their ventures.

The session is led by Ari Scott, ADHD entrepreneur and keynote speaker from ND25. It will also feature several celebrity judges!

Want to Be a Guest?

We're looking for a few people in different business categories to pitch on the main stage.

Who this is for: People who already have a business (or profitable side hustle) and want to grow or scale it. This isn't for people just starting out or still in the idea phase—though we'll have resources for you too!

Apply here: Founder Hot Seat​

We'll select guests who represent a diverse range of industries, business models, and experiences.

What You'll Get

  • Real feedback from Ari Scott, the celebrity judges, and the ND community
  • Visibility and exposure for your business
  • Connection with other entrepreneurial attendees who might become collaborators, customers, or advisors
  • Prizes for everyone who participates (not just "winners")
  • The chance to pitch on main stage in front of our entire community

Important: You must be registered for ND26 to submit. If you're already signed up, great! Not signed up yet? Don't delay—we're in our final round of ticket sales with less than 70 tickets remaining.

Hey there, We made you something fun today. 🙂 It's called Fidget Corner, and it features six small fidgets and games that are all free to play. I'd love for you to check it out! Right now there are three sensory toys (Pop Field, Marble Run, and Sand Canvas) and three little games (Putt, Catch, and Tempo). Sound is on by default, but you can turn it off, and everything respects reduced-motion settings. Over the next year, we'll be rolling out a lot more experiments, including some that can be...
