Elevating Disabled and Neurodivergent Founders

​We’re gathering a powerful mix of neurodivergent and disabled founders, early-stage startups, VCs, ecosystem enablers, and allies for an evening of connection, conversation, and collective visioning.

​This in-person event at LSE Generate is designed to elevate underrepresented voices in entrepreneurship and build momentum toward a more inclusive startup landscape.

​Panel Discussion (6:30–7:30 PM)

• ​Georgina Nwabueze, Founder of Backable Ventures

• ​Jonathan Sun, Founder of UpsideDown VC

• ​Iveta Pudilova, CEO of National Neurodiversity Training

• ​Melina Gisler, Co-Founder of Edenreach

​Networking & Mingling (7:30–8:00 PM)

​An open space to meet others, share stories, and forge new collaborations.

​What’s this really about?

​We want this to be more than a one-off conversation. This event is the first step toward building a dedicated network to:

• ​Increase visibility of disabled and neurodivergent founders

• ​Open up honest conversations about bias, funding gaps, and workplace design

• ​Co-create practical tools: perhaps a founder playbook, shared resource hub, or database of support and allies

​Whether you're a founder, funder, policy-shaper, or changemaker, come be part of this growing movement.
