Quotes

Dr Theresa Kidd

Clinical Psychologist and Autism Educator and Consultant

“While 250,000 Australians are diagnosed with autism, less than half have ever worked, and of those that have, many have either not maintained their employment or the work has not been related to their education/skill or interest. An innovative initiative, ProFound, is likely to change these statistics by providing talented neurodiverse adults with the guidance and mentoring they require to start-up their own business ventures.“

Quotes

Professor Tele Tan

“ProFound is an opportunity for neurodiverse individuals to kick-start their digital career as an entrepreneur.

Quotes

Johnny Doan

Incubator Manager

“As someone who is neurodivergent (being on the bipolar spectrum, and having ADHD), as well as having family members who are on the autism spectrum, I know it’s incredibly important for neurodiverse individuals to feel empowered by having self-determination in their career and aspirations. In our unique program, not only will participants begin their startup journey, but they will be immersed and supported by a passionate community of entrepreneurs.“
