Here’s your unique invitation to shape the future of inclusive entrepreneurship: join the inaugural Entrepreneur Allies Circle — a select group of committed leaders, friends and advocates committed to reshaping how we invest in and support entrepreneurs with disabilities.
These small business owners are leading disability innovation, building solutions that benefit everyone. Think of things like speech-to-text or adaptive controllers —these weren’t born from mainstream needs, they emerged from underserved groups. Today, they serve millions.
When we design for the margins, we redefine the center.
*That’s* the power of disability innovation.
Serena Lowe, Vice Chair of Synergies Work and Lisa Ashby, the Synergies Seed Fund Board Chair, are the architects behind this initiative.
Lowe says, “the Entrepreneur Allies Circle [EAC] connects people like me — who want to invest in and support the next era of disability-spurred innovation and advancements — to the best hope we have of solutions-oriented entrepreneurial spirit driving positive sociocultural and economic change for our nation in the years to come.
To partner with Synergies Work as an ally of entrepreneurs with disabilities is both strategic and forward-thinking, for it is this next generation of entrepreneurs who will likely help us solve some of the most difficult challenges and complex problems of our lifetime… and they will do it with compassion, conviction, and integrity.”
The EAC is more than a fundraising group.
It’s a select group of committed leaders, friends and advocates committed to reshaping how we invest in and support entrepreneurs with disabilities. These people are on the front lines of change, working to lift up small business owners who are building solutions that benefit everyone.
