How to Focus When You Can’t Focus: ADHD as a Founder and CEO with Dane Atkinson at ODEKO

Dane Atkinson is the Founder and CEO of Odeko, the operations partner helping independent coffee shops run and grow through smart software, next-day delivery, and a modern supply chain. Since launching Odeko in 2019, Dane has focused on giving small businesses enterprise-level tools, and he led the company through over $280M in funding to further scale that mission. Before Odeko, he served as CEO of Squarespace from 2007 to 2011 and later founded SumAll, a data-analytics platform built for SMBs.

A long-time mentor and advocate for entrepreneurs, he regularly shares practical lessons on earning trust, using AI thoughtfully, and building systems that let local businesses compete with national brands.

Today, Odeko supports tens of thousands of cafés across the U.S., enabling owners to spend less time on logistics and more time serving their communities.
