Voice-to-text was built to enhance accessibility. Now it powers our phones, meetings, and podcasts.

Curb cuts were built for wheelchair users, but they end up benefiting people with strollers, trolleys, suitcases, skateboards, etc. 

Founders who build for overlooked markets are often dismissed as “too niche.” Yet history says otherwise: today’s inclusive solution is tomorrow’s standard. Solutions built for overlooked communities provide value for everyone.

When we invest in people who are designing and building for exclusion, we invest in solutions that help all of us.
