Josh Adler is a Canadian entrepreneur, writer, and philanthropist known for his ventures in product consultancy, digital infrastructure, systems consulting, and bioscience research. Born on February 10, 1999, in Toronto, Canada, Adler was diagnosed with ADHD, which influenced his focus on creating tools and frameworks for individuals who struggle in conventional educational and institutional systems. After leaving traditional schooling at 15, he pursued private mentorships and briefly attended the University of Toronto before dropping out.
Adler has initiated various projects in the realms of product development, consulting, and advanced technology, often operating in stealth mode. His work frequently intersects with systems design, performance optimization, and experimental robotics, aiming to benefit neurodivergent and nontraditional users. Additionally, Adler writes essays on neurodiversity, resilience, systems thinking, and founder psychology.
He is the founder of Project Hyperaware, an international philanthropic initiative promoting ADHD awareness. One of its programs in Kenya focuses on fostering community-level understanding of neurodiversity.
