You looking at startups? I’ve seen a few started by people who turned their deafness or blindness into a new idea / product.


I've had one idea in mind for a few years now. It's outside of my normal skill set so it's risky to pursue at the moment. But maybe I should start putting a little time into it even if it's just to help recharge my batteries somewhat.


A11y is a field with a high economic potential and with an incredibly supportive community.

For recharging batteries, I warmly recommend to join the A11y Slack: use its search function, explore your idea further, or find interesting new contacts.

I’ve requested an invite link for you. When it gets accepted, you should get an email – feel free to click (or ignore) it!


Thank you!


No risk no reward. Might be an energizing challenge for you.
