Inspiration to Start Company
Throughout history, there have been people whose uncommon but successful behaviors or strategies enable them to find better solutions to a problem than their peers. Even despite facing similar challenges and having no extra resources or knowledge than their peers. These individuals are referred to as “Positive Deviants”. Jade saw a gap in the process for startups applying to these challenges and began Positive Deviancy in order to fill that gap. By using her expansive experience and the team’s individualized expertise and ability to foster these unique but crucial relationships, Positive Deviancy has seen huge success in helping early-stage startups and entrepreneurs win these prizes and achieve their goals.
