Meet Our Founder
Ayrton's Story
At just 13 years old, Ayrton understood what it felt like to think differently. As a neurodiverse teen with ADHD, he experienced firsthand the challenges of finding the right support and understanding.
That's when he had an idea: What if there was a digital mentor who could understand neurodiverse minds and help kids like him build the skills they needed to thrive? And so, Patch was born.
"Every kid deserves a mentor who gets them. Patch is that friend who's always there, always understanding, and always ready to help you become your best self."
— Ayrton, Founder

Focus HeroBefore Patch, I couldn't focus on my homework for more than 5 minutes. Now I can work for 30 minutes straight! Patch taught me the timer trick and how to take brain breaks.
