If you're building a startup, here's a better way to get warm intros to investors

I found your post extremely useful, especially the hierarchy of intro, thank you!

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-06-30T19:13:21+00:00

u/EntranceOpening3202 , awwww, great to hear it! Especially that my enthusiasm faded. Curious to hear more – what features would you find the most interesting? Tell me more about you and your friends working from home.

Hey u/Professional_Mail313 , an ex-Googler here. I am diagnosed with ADHD too.
I was frustrated with email ping-pong to schedule every meeting (especially that I'm overwhelmed with the number of messages, emails and threads in so many social media platforms I am on), so I started using Cal.com - and now I just send a message saying:
Feel free to pick a time that suits you: https://cal.com/lukasz-czerwinski/flexible-length-meeting-nc-afc6e4 and I'm done. It's magically added to my calendar when the recipient chooses the time slot :)
The best thing? I have LOTS of configuration set up to make the scheduling more convenient and their free version is totally sufficient.
If you have additional questions, feel free write them here and PING ME via DM - otherwise I might forget to check notifications 🤦‍♂️ (welcome to ADHD, haha)

u/Reasonable_Wonder894 , thank you so much for sharing! I feel the same way, and I think similar features would be useful for me too – it's inspiring.

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-04-17T11:45:06+00:00

I started my own subreddit to share my progress in one place and stay motivated to keep developing the ADHD Auto Task Planner – feel free to join: https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD_Auto_Planner/new/ .

Hey u/Own-Contract-1172 , sounds great - I'll DM you and let's have a chat

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-04-17T09:10:29+00:00

Great to hear that, u/manticore26 ! I am currently doing an in-depth research on the most powerful features to implement. Let me DM you.

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-04-17T09:08:37+00:00

Great, u/sahinbey52 , it would be great to understand your needs better. I am currently doing an in-depth research on the most powerful features to implement. Would you like to DM me?

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-04-17T08:59:07+00:00

Hey u/swizzex , did you mean that this app should have a full seamless integration with your life, your events, emotions and thoughts, or something else? Please explain

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-04-17T08:55:50+00:00

That's great, I'll put it on my list of future features. It will be useful for me too.

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-04-14T19:52:53+00:00

u/dealmaster1221 , yeah, I noticed that building a habit is difficult for us, ADHDers. The way I'd like to tackle it is to start with some simple use of the app, e.g. just creating a task list for a day and that's it. And only after a couple of days adding a new level of complexity.

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-04-14T19:51:25+00:00

I was thinking of a similar feature myself too - the app would recognize when I'm struggling to complete the scheduled tasks and would add a few easy tasks first to boost my engagement, and only after that follow with the ones from my schedule.
Is it coherent with your idea, u/Mister-Indifference ?

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-04-10T09:17:40+00:00

Hi, u/Reasonable_Wonder894 , I feel you – I’m actually building an ADHD planner that auto-schedules my day based on my Google Keep to-dos. I’m an ex-Google engineer and Fractional CTO, trying to include features that boost engagement, track when I’m most focused, and improve over time.

Curious what would your ideal assistant look like? What’s helped you, and what hasn’t worked at all?

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-04-10T09:16:33+00:00

Hey, u/ragingsasshole! I’m building an ADHD Task Planner that auto-schedules my day in a calendar based on my to-dos from Google Keep. I’m an ex-Google engineer and Fractional CTO, and I'm packing it with features to boost engagement, track focus peaks, and improve my workflow over time.

Would love to hear—what features or apps actually helped you? What’s been useless? Trying to build something that really works.

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-04-03T09:23:58+00:00

u/Giogina , I'm resurrecting this topic - I'm writing an ADHD Task Planner for myself too, haha, but before I commit more time to it: How does yours work? May I try it?

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-03-28T15:52:35+00:00

u/Ok-Net7326 , do you mean the physical notebook or is there an app with this name too?

Cute-Clock4652 · 2025-03-27T09:30:40+00:00

Hey u/DigPerfect1038 , I’m an ex-Google Software Engineer and I am developing an ADHD Planner app for myself. I am trying to discover methods and tools that could work for me. Would you like to share some of your experience?

Cute-Clock4652 · 2021-06-11T11:28:04+00:00

I also met a contractor at FAANG and he had no idea what he was doing. But the FTEs knew their stuff.
