Key Takeaways

• Built from lived experience: Jill shares how NeuroLocker was born out of raising neurodivergent children and navigating ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and autism firsthand.

• Designed for neurodivergent minds: NeuroLocker is an all-in-one productivity app created specifically to reduce distraction by keeping tasks, notes, and planning in one simplified place.

• From family challenge to business solution: The idea originated with Jill's daughter Sophia through a Shark Tank–style college project that uncovered a major gap in existing productivity tools.

• AI as support, not a shortcut: Features like note recording, transcripts, summaries, and action items help users process information without replacing learning or critical thinking.

• Big vision, grassroots beginnings: The company is fully bootstrapped, beta-testing now, and seeking strategic partners and funding to scale into schools, colleges, and workplaces.
