We are Divergent Labs.

Divergent Labs, Inc. connects great minds to big projects. Neuro-divergence (autism and related wiring differences) can be a great asset when the work environment is optimized for people to contribute effectively, but it can be a hindrance if not. Divergent Labs aims to unleash the contributions of undiscovered talented people on full throttle. We are creating autistic workspaces that make it possible for the genius, integrity, concern for details, and specialized focus that are the trademarks of the autistic mind to be expressed.
