Calling on the ADHD entrepreneurs out there.
Summary: Darren Smith invites entrepreneurs with ADHD or those who suspect they have ADHD to participate in a research study. The study involves a 30 to 45-minute interview about work habits and focus, conducted via Microsoft Teams. The research is part of their dissertation on entrepreneurship and ADHD, and while it offers no financial compensation, it aims to provide valuable insights into the relationship between ADHD and entrepreneurship. Participation is voluntary and the project is approved by Texas State IRB.
I'm Darren Smith, and I'm an entrepreneur and a PhD candidate studying entrepreneurship! I am conducting a research study to explore how founders with ADHD experience deep focus and hyperfocus during their venture work, as part of my dissertation efforts. I am writing to invite you to participate if you identify as an entrepreneur who has a diagnosis of ADHD or highly suspects having ADHD.
What is involved? If you agree to participate, you will be asked to join a 30 to 45-minute interview via Microsoft Teams. During this conversation, we will discuss your work habits, your experiences with focus, and how you manage your energy. With your permission, the interview will be audio-recorded to ensure accuracy.
Why participate? While there is no financial compensation, your insights will be vital in helping us better understand ADHD, deep focus, and entrepreneurship.
