My organisation

On-line forms and surveys are everywhere. But data on the 1.3 billion people who experience a significant disability is under- represented or missing entirely. Undermining the rights of individuals to be consulted and leaving organisations to take decisions based on data that is inaccurate and incomplete. Accessible Data change this. By making on-line forms and survey accessible we put inclusive data at your fingertips. Enabling informed, optimal and inclusive decions to be made by businesses, governments, academics and non profits. Our first product is accessiblesurveys.com. Accessible Surveys was developed in close collaboration with the International Disability Alliance and is being used by organisations around the world including Unicef and the Ministry of Education, Ireland to collect better data. We are actively looking to raise finance and build strategic partnerships to make accessible forms and surveys mainstream.

  1. Help organisations collect inclusive data

  2. Meet organisations who can help us scale our customer base

  3. Meet organisations who can help us enhance our product

  4. Extend and deepen our links with Organisations of Disabled People

  5. Invite investors to participate in our pre-series A funding round.
