Seth Besse’s Bio:
I grew up with ADHD and dyslexia long before I understood what those labels meant. In school, I was the kid who froze when it was my turn to read aloud—counting paragraphs ahead, practicing the same few sentences over and over, only to find out the teacher had moved on or called on someone else. It was mortifying, and I carry a deep sense of imposter syndrome and self-doubt to this day.
Over time, I began to see my own way of thinking as a strength rather than a deficit. My brain approaches problems differently—making connections others might miss and finding creative paths through complexity. In my career, I’ve taken on entrenched systems, bringing transparency, efficiency, and data-driven decision-making to industries that desperately needed it.
Now, as CEO of Undivided.io, I’m honored to channel that same drive into something deeply personal: building a platform that supports families in allowing the diverse ways kids learn and think to be supported, building a stronger, better, and more resilient community. Undivided transforms how parents navigate IEPs, insurance, public benefits, and more—empowering them to thrive with neurodivergence, not in spite of it. I believe that when we empower diverse minds, everyone wins.
