The Competitive Advantages of Disabled Entrepreneurs

Date TBA

1.3 billion people are disabled. Anyone at any time can become disabled, yet the community remains underserved with disproportionate unemployment rates. Yet, people with disabilities are almost twice as likely to start a business compared to non-disabled people. Disabled Founders worldwide are flipping the narrative, showcasing disability as a competitive advantage in business. Join us as we discuss the case for both expanding employment opportunities and impacts of investing in businesses founded by people with disabilities.
