Is “Founder ADHD” real or just another badge of hustle culture? You’ve heard it, “I’m a founder, of course I have ADHD.” But is it real, or are we mistaking burnout and overload for a disorder? Research shows 20 to 25 percent of entrepreneurs exhibit ADHD traits versus just 5 percent in the general population. Hyperfocus, impulsive decision-making, and high risk appetite can feel like superpowers. But unmanaged, they lead to chaos, unfinished ideas, team confusion, emotional swings. It may not be clinical ADHD. But startup stress, sleep loss, and constant dopamine spikes can mimic it closely. The fix? Self-awareness. Structure. Coaching. Delegation. Founders don’t need to be flawless, they need to be functional. This isn’t about glorifying ADHD, but understanding how to build with it, not despite it. Have you felt this too? Let’s talk about it, without the filter.
