Our Collective Why
Give neurodivergent adults tools tailored to their operating systems—so their energy fuels innovation, not exhaustion
Vision
Original thinkers. Equal footing. No permission slips required.
The Diverge Manifesto
We don’t glorify busy-work.
Diverge trades time spent for value created. Productivity without dignity is just a prettier cage.
Tired of sitting still.
Tired of smiling through “Let’s circle back.”
Tired of pretending to love Monday meetings that could’ve been a meme.
We don’t think outside the box.
We recycle the box, build a pillow fort with it, and create a new workflow system while forgetting where we put our coffee.
We’re neurodivergent.
Which means we’re kind of brilliant. Or we like to call ourselves the original thinkers.
And also sometimes can’t find our keys.
(Or remember what we walked into the room for.)
But we do remember how it feels to be the smartest, strangest, and most overlooked person in the room.
So we built Diverge—for the thinkers no one planned for.
The ones who stim, script, spin, scream, spark, and draw.
We believe:
Inclusion shouldn’t mean pretending to be normal.
Work should adapt to people, not the other way around.
Productivity isn’t how fast you tick a box. It’s how well your brain can fly when the world gets out of the way.
We’re not here to inspire.
We’re here to redesign the damn system.
And if this manifesto feels unfinished—
it’s because we probably got distracted by an idea that’s going to change the world or at least help someone, because it’s the right thing to do.
(We’ll come back to this… probably. Or not. Either way, we’re building it and we are grateful for our collective.)
The Quiet Corner Origin Story
In a room buzzing with small talk and social rules we never quite got,
we found each other in a “our” quiet corner—where eye contact was optional
and deep thoughts were always welcome.
We dropped the mask (not the fun costume kind—the exhausting daily one),
shared the stuff we usually keep tucked away,
and laughed at how weirdly refreshing it was to just be ourselves.
That moment? It turned into a sisterhood.
And that bond?
Sparked an app built for brains like ours—
the ones that feel “too much,” “not enough,” or just… wired differently.
Now we’re leveling the playing field,
one beautifully neurodivergent brain at a time.
No masks. No gatekeepers. Just tools that get you.
Meet the founders
I’m Natalie, and I’m Bridgette—and we’re the brains behind Diverge.
We come from the world of HR, but more importantly, we come from lived neurodivergent experience.
We’ve spent our careers helping people navigate work—and our lives navigating it ourselves.
So we built a platform that doesn’t just include original thinkers—
it’s designed with us at the center.
Because every brain deserves tools that work with it, not against it.
We built a platform designed with us at the center.
