# ADHD Strategies for Tech Founders and Investors: Understanding and Leveraging Neurodivergent Team Members for Maximum Success
## How well do you understand and support your team members with ADD / ADHD?
1 in every 3 to 5 adults are neurodivergent (having ADHD, ADD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, dyslexia, etc.), 1 in 20 have ADHD, and 85% of us are undiagnosed.
In the tech and gaming industries those numbers are higher, especially in certain roles like engineering, sales, marketing, and the C-Suite.
The bad news is that most companies aren't great at supporting employees with ADHD.The good news is that a little bit of training can quickly transform that problem.
Join us and invite founders, investors, and leaders you know to discover how to support team members with ADD / ADHD or other neurodivergent conditions to increase your company productivity, profits, job satisfaction, team communication, employee retention, and more!

## Why You Should Attend
While tech companies attract a much higher number of neurodivergent leaders and team members with ADD (Inattentive ADHD) and ADHD than other industries, most startups struggle with identifying, understanding, supporting, and managing their neurodivergent team members.
Your company is probably paying unnecessary costs, losing great employees, and losing efficiencies by not understanding how neurodivergent team members think and work.
Treating your team members with ADD / ADHD brains as if they should work in the same ways as your neurotypical team members causes productivity challenges, chronic anxiety, miscommunications, skewed expectations, lower profits, and loss of valuable people. It doesn't have to be this way.
