For International Women’s Day we asked our founders Melissa and Helene to reflect on some of their learnings from their experience as women, entrepreneurs and moms.
Co-founders Melissa and Helene worked with neurodivergent adolescents (ADHD) as part of a research project that looked into how technology could support their needs. Tiimo was launched in 2015 as a result of that research. Melissa and Helene have led the company through ups and downs, turning it into one of Denmark’s fastest growing startups, all while raising their own families. Two years ago, co-founder Melissa was late diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, adding her lived experience to Tiimo’s mission of making life less chaotic and the world more neuroinclusive.
As someone who menstruates, I know how energy levels can fluctuate throughout the month and my cycle. We talk openly about this at Tiimo and try to schedule meetings when we have the energy and capacity for them. For example, our Lead Product Designer and I like scheduling our creative workshops during ovulation because that’s when we feel most creative.
Be persistent! Also It’s good to listen to advice and input from others who might have more experience or a different mindset, but remember to always listen to your own gut feeling. Trust in yourself and that you can create what you have set out to do.
We have been able to create a work culture that values empathy and caring. Our team culture is warm and welcoming and makes people feel safe. When people feel safe, they are more productive and engaged.
We have both become mothers during the last five years, which has made us aware of how important it is for a workplace to make room for both your personal and professional life: being able to care for your family while staying ambitious about your work. Becoming a parent teaches you to really prioritize your time and focus on what matters.
Visualize time. Build focus. Make life happen. Tiimo is designed for people with ADHD, Autism, and everyone who thinks, works, and plans differently.
