What problem does it solve?

This Skill coaches former big tech ML/AI engineers with ADHD through the transition to successful independent app development and entrepreneurship. It addresses the unique challenges of ADHD in business, such as idea paralysis, shipping perfectionism, and inconsistent execution, by providing tailored strategies for sustainable growth.

Core Features & Use Cases

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I launch an MVP as an ex-big-tech engineer with ADHD?▼

Launching an MVP with ADHD requires frameworks that work with hyperfocus and shipping constraints. This Skill provides a phase-based execution approach—idea validation, rapid MVP delivery, and monetization—designed specifically for former FAANG/ML engineers transitioning to indie development, including a 2-week MVP sprint structure and ADHD-friendly routines to overcome perfectionism and shipping paralysis.

What's the best way to validate and narrow down startup ideas when you have too many?▼

The Constrained Choice Framework helps ADHD founders eliminate idea paralysis by systematically validating concepts against market demand and personal capacity. This Skill guides you through selecting a single viable idea, testing it with real users, and committing to execution within resource constraints—critical for avoiding the ADHD pattern of endless pivoting.

How do I set up sustainable monetization and pricing for an indie app?▼

Monetization strategy requires balancing pricing decisions, retention mechanics, and system-based growth into repeatable routines. This Skill teaches pricing frameworks, recurring revenue models, and daily marketing systems tailored to ADHD brains, so you can achieve consistent customer acquisition without burning out or losing focus mid-launch.

Can I use this coaching if I'm building a side project while employed?▼

Yes. This Skill is designed for employed ex-FAANG/ML engineers transitioning to indie development. It addresses the unique challenge of shipping within constrained time and energy, managing scope across a 2-week MVP sprint, and setting up sustainable growth systems that don't require VC funding or large team scaling.

Why does ADHD entrepreneurship require different strategies than typical startup advice?▼

ADHD entrepreneurs face distinct challenges—idea paralysis, perfectionism blocking shipping, inconsistent execution, and context-switching costs—that generic startup advice doesn't address. This Skill applies ADHD-aware frameworks leveraging hyperfocus, dopamine-driven development, and non-negotiable daily systems to transform these traits into competitive advantages in indie app building.

Is this for VC-backed startups or neurotypical founders?▼

No. This Skill is explicitly tailored for indie app founders and former big-tech engineers with ADHD, not VC-backed startups or neurotypical entrepreneurship. It focuses on bootstrapped, sustainable profitability and ADHD-specific execution frameworks rather than venture-scale growth or generic business strategies.
