Launching fall 2022, The Accessibility Exchange SO is a support services organisation that provides robust, personalised assistance to help all TAE platform customers to match, contract and consult seamlessly, modelling the barrier-free Canada we are helping bring into being.
Drawing from the co-design process lead by IDRC, I developed the business model plan, fundraising plan and roadmap through year 2. I further coached the founding team on how to approach the ownership and governance of the SO and platform to strike a balance between community control and growth / investment opportunities.
The TAE Platform mentioned above is a matching platform empowering individuals from the Deaf and disability community to engage in consultations that lift up their lived/living experience and equip Federally regulated organisations to create a barrier-free Canada by 2040.
All interviews and co-design sessions were held remotely due to COVID restrictions.
