Timeline

CSD Social Venture Fund is backed by Communication Service for the Deaf (CSD), a non-profit organization with a legacy of over 50 years in creating inclusive communication solutions and accessible experiences for Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, late deafened, and hard of hearing communities.

CSD Social Venture Fund was established in 2017 to strengthen our communities by providing capital and resources to Deaf-owned businesses. Over the years, we have expanded our support to include tech startups that focus on accessibility and inclusion.

Our team, led by Deaf and hard of hearing entrepreneurs, is dedicated to investing in visionary people and businesses. We aim to create jobs, break barriers, and transform futures through strategic investments and impactful partnerships.
