Neurodivergent Founders & Funders: A happy hour
Shimmer & Neurode invite you to an afternoon in LA made for people like us.
Not every space is built for neurodivergent brains. This one is. ✨
Come as you are. Be with your people. Expect a happy-hour style evening where authenticity comes first—curated connections, a fireside chat with a luminary guest (to be announced), and a room full of people who get it.
💬 What people said about last year’s event:
“It was the first time I didn’t feel like I had to mask at a tech event.”
“I walked away with real connections, not just business cards.”
“I finally felt seen—and left more hopeful about what’s possible.”
✨ Last year we hit capacity at 200+ people within days—this year will be no different. Secure your spot early, and when you register, share a little about yourself to increase your chances of locking in a spot.
Agenda:
4:30–5:00 | Drinks & networking
5:00–5:30 | Fireside Chat with Speaker
5:30–6:30 | Mixer continues
Before you head out: pick up some free fidgets and neurodivergent-friendly treats.
This is a space where authenticity comes first—built for neurodivergents, but open to all curious and kind minds.

In five minutes, we’ll capture your clearest growth insight on camera—how your product works, who it serves, and how you’re using AI to drive acquisition, activation, retention, or revenue.

This is built for founders and GTM leaders who want high-quality, no-fluff content without production overhead. You speak; we handle prompts, setup, shooting, edits, captions, and delivery.

We spend ~2 minutes aligning on your angle (product story or specific growth play), record a focused 5-minute interview on pro audio/video, then our team edits everything into platform-ready shorts for LinkedIn, X, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Bring one metric and one customer example if you can.
What you get
1–3 edited clips (captioned; sized for LinkedIn, X, Shorts, Reels)
Suggested hooks + post copy for each platform
Optional master cut for your site/YouTube
Fast turnaround via shared folder
Selective distribution on Mailmodo/Aquibur channels for extra reach

A) Founder Product Spotlight
What problem you’re solving, for whom, and the “aha” moment
One live use case and the metric it improves
Your distribution wedge (community, ecosystem, integrations, PLG, partners)
B) GTM + AI Growth Play
The AI workflow driving a measurable lift (sign-ups, SQLs, CAC/LTV, expansion)
How you use LLMs/agents in segmentation, creative, journeys, QA, or sales assist
Stack overview (build vs. buy) and guardrails (review loops, evals)
