We’ve spent years watching digital platforms and the tech industry fail people with disabilities, and we’re done waiting for someone else to fix it. The current system isn’t working, and we need a fundamentally different approach. That’s why we’re building a cooperative centered entirely on digital accessibility.
A Mission That Can’t Be Compromised
In a cooperative, we’re not beholden to investors who see accessibility as a compliance checkbox or a nice-to-have, when we have the time feature. Every member has equal ownership, which means our commitment to creating truly accessible digital experiences can never be diluted or pushed aside for short-term profits. This is a personal mission for all of us.
Filling a Gap That Shouldn’t Exist
In an age of abundant technology resources, most websites and apps are still unusable for millions of people. Over a billion people worldwide live with disabilities, yet they’re constantly locked out of digital spaces and many times this is simply because of bad decisions. We have the knowledge and technology to change this and collectively we have the will and power to prioritize it.
Building With, Not For
We want to create a space where developers, designers, accessibility experts, and people with lived disability experience work side by side as equals. Real accessibility doesn’t come from assumptions. It comes from listening, learning, and centering the voices of those who navigate inaccessible systems every day.
Proving Another Way Is Possible
A cooperative lets us invest in ourselves, putting power into each other and into our mission. Our shared resources go toward better services, supporting our members, and pushing the entire industry forward. We’re not just building accessible products but we are helping organizations to shape their workplaces so they can be a model for inclusive design and accessibility.
