The Problem
Deaf and hard-of-hearing entrepreneurs receive very little funding despite being 18% more likely to start a business than than their hearing counterparts. In economic crises, funding for this group is often the first to be cut.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing entrepreneurs also face lack of access to educational content in American Sign Language and mistaken stereotypes about their competency and quality.
Many deaf founders are succeeding despite doing this alone. The more we make entrepreneurship accessible, the more deaf people can invest in their communities and benefit all of us.
