The global assistive technology market is valued at over $22 billion, but founders creating tech for disabilities often face funding difficulties. Adaptation Ventures, founded by Brittany and Rich Palmer, seeks to bridge this gap by investing in early-stage startups focused on accessibility technology. Drawing from their own experiences, they recognized that many venture capitalists lack understanding of the disability community and its market potential. The firm intends to support both dedicated disability tech startups and those catering to a wider audience that benefits disabled individuals.
"Venture capital firms really didn't understand the disability community, or how big it was, or the opportunities to sell to them."
"We were meeting incredible founders, and trying to figure out the best way to get capital to them."
