4Blind has completed the program in the Access to Success Organization accelerator, Canada's first accelerator for accessibility startups.
This experience provided us with a unique opportunity to deepen our knowledge, expand our network of contacts, and accelerate the development of our projects. Throughout the program, we engaged in discussions on crucial topics such as inclusive leadership, marketing, fundraising, design, customer acquisition, and co-development. Furthermore, we had the opportunity to practice pitching to a cohort of wonderful experts.
We had the privilege of learning from expert professionals, including Jayesh Singh, founder of Able Innovations; Bruce Johnson, Principal Researcher Accessibility & Inclusive Design at Microsoft; Andrea Palmer, founder of Awake Labs; Idan Mair, co-founder of RightHear; and many others. They not only shared their success stories and valuable experiences but also inspired us with new ideas.
We extend our gratitude to Access to Success Labs for this unique experience, the support, and the opportunity to grow within such a wonderful community. Special thanks to Varun Chandak and Sydney Bokla for their time and careful guidance!
