How do we move beyond buzzwords to build truly inclusive spaces? Recently, CLO Julia Franklin hosted a fireside chat with TyKiah Wright-Wilson MBA, CDP founder of WrightChoice Mentoring, at The Hurt Hub@Davidson. Hosted by Davidson College’s Disability Alliance, the conversation explored mentorship, intersectionality, and breaking barriers for people with disabilities.   TyKiah’s stories challenge us to reflect: What small, intentional changes can we make today to create more inclusive spaces tomorrow? 💡 Read the full blog on the fireside chat here: https://lnkd.in/dKpFpb_K   #Mentorship #InclusiveWorkplaces #FiresideChat Image description: TyKiah Wright-Wilson, on the left, and Julia Franklin, on the right, smiling and seated during a fireside chat at the Hurt Hub at Davidson College.

💻🤝 Cephable is a personal, private, and accessible AI platform that enables users to control their digital devices through adaptive voice commands, head movements, virtual buttons, and AI task automation 🤝 💻 It's W12 / Q4 / 2024 & this week in our MGMT Boston startup series we’ve got Cephable, a Seed stage startup building a platform designed to enhance accessibility and inclusivity. Cephable was founded in 2023 by Alexander Dunn, an applied ML engineer who was formerly the CPO at Voicify. A tinkerer by trade, he saw that his younger brother, who has a disability, was unable to keep up with friends while gaming, and falling behind with the technology at school. Globally there are more than 1.3B people (15-20% of the global population) with disabilities who have an annual discretionary spending power of $13T according to the World Economic Forum. This includes cognitive, mobility, hearing, vision & other restrictions that prevent millions of people from enjoying games & digital experiences. 💵 Can you imagine not being able to access an ATM to take out some cash?  🐢 Or fire a tortoise shell at Wario on the Rainbow Road racetrack?  ✉️ Or how about just logging onto the computer to send an email? Cephable is enabling a new digital customer via their software platform which launched publicly in August 2023 to solve the “disability tax,” an additional cost that many people with disabilities have to pay for adaptive tech. Today they’ve built innovative, responsive algorithms that are adaptive to visual & audio commands across languages and commands. Cephable recently announced partnerships with Microsoft & Qualcomm to build “out of the box” PC experiences which will include Cephable controls integrated into OEM (original equipment manufacturing) devices like Lenovo, HP & Dell computers & tablets. These large scale enterprise partnerships will take the startup from 10s of thousands of users to 10s of millions in the coming quarters. This fast-growing Boston-based startup grew their end user base from early adoption to its 2024 year-end user base by more than 10,000x. They’re expecting to grow another 10,000x in 2025, turbocharged by their newly established enterprise relationships. They are closing in on seven figures of annual revenue in the 1H of 2025, with their average Enterprise pipeline deal size now approaching seven figures too! Next year they will plan to bring on more engineers, marketing resources, and grow their customer success & sales operations teams. Cephable is backed locally by Hyperplane, Founder Collective, and other notable VCs.

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities—a day to honor the rights and contributions of the disability community while recognizing the work still needed to create a truly inclusive world. 🌎   At Cephable, we believe accessibility isn’t just about technology, buildings, or systems—it’s about people. It’s about ensuring everyone has the tools and opportunities to show up as their full selves. 💡 Our team is constantly asking questions like, “How can we make this easier? Smarter? More intuitive?” Above all, we focus on listening to the voices of those with lived experiences and letting their insights guide real, impactful change.   Accessibility isn’t a one-size-fits-all concept, and the best solutions come when we truly understand and address what people need. Let today serve as a reminder to think about accessibility in your work, your spaces, and your lives. When we prioritize inclusion, we’re not just meeting a requirement—we’re creating opportunities that benefit everyone.   Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Let’s keep pushing forward, together. #IDPD2024 #InclusiveTech #IDPD #A11y Image description: Sarah Todd Hammer is giving a presentation at work, standing in front of a large screen displaying a slide that reads "Marine Mesh MK Plan: Social Media."
