Anna Cheniuntai on LinkedIn: #blueprint (2025)

It's been 20 years since the internet went mainstream, and still 96% of it remains inaccessible. It's time we change that, and if we shift left and reach entrepreneurs with the importance of inclusive design earlier in the entrepreneur's journey, we have the potential to make a huge generational impact on digital accessibility. We need more stories about Disability Inclusion in the Innovation Process hitting the main stage at big conferences. Help me and Caitlin Reimers Brumme, MassChallenge CEO extraordinare, take the stage at one of the world's largest gatherings for the impact ecosystem #SoCap24. MassChallenge has partnered with the #HoweInnovationCenter at Perkins to make sure accessibility and inclusion design become a part of the entrepreneur's journey. By October 2024, we will have wrapped up our first year working together to support entrepreneurs building products and services specifically for people with disabilities (think #DisabilityTech) as well as entrepreneurs building products for the general population but care about their products being accessible and inclusive. After all, what's a product if the customer can't use it? Entrepreneurs, engineers, product managers are leaving money on the table ever single day if accessibility isn't baked into the product design and development process from the beginning. We can change this together. Vote: https://lnkd.in/ewYWgdXf

Our panel on funding responsible innovation at THE LIGHT HOUSE 2024 was extremely informative for our guests. Katy Knight of the Siegel Family Endowment explained it perfectly."Our panel with funders on responsible innovation, what we're funding, and what we're seeing out in the world really was meant to just be an open space to talk about what is on our minds and what we are trying to reflect back as gaps and spaces where we need more innovators or more opportunity to exist.... We also dug into some of the hairy issues around trying to build a cohesive vision for community-driven and public interest-driven technology. And how difficult and challenging it is, and how much work there is still for us to do to come together and create the coalition that will be the future makers of this space."Click the link below to learn more about The Tech We Want! 🪩 http://thetechwewant.com/#TheTechWeWant#TeamHuman#SustainableTech#TechForGood#ResponsibleInnovation#EquitableTechnology#CollectiveIntelligence

🌟 Youth Unleashed! 🌟How LitterLotto is Winning Over the Next Generation.Young minds like our most recent 13-year-old Jackpot winner, Josh, from Ayr are showing us how it's done!By gamifying environmental care, it's clear that LitterLotto can tap into youthful energy to transform community clean-up into a fun, rewarding challenge.Josh's success story is a perfect example of how tech can motivate and engage—even before they're old enough to post about it themselves!*This approach isn't just about keeping our neighbourhoods tidy; it's about inspiring a deep-rooted commitment to the planet that will grow as these young environmentalists do.*Note: The vibrant image of litter-picking students? Pure AI creativity at work. Since our real-life hero is a bit camera-shy and too young to broadcast online, we've had to employ some AI wizardry!Technology not only cleans up our streets but also steps in for our photo ops... 😉#YouthEngagement #TechForGood #LitterLotto #EnvironmentalCare

Top 5 takeaways from the 'Scaling Carbon Solutions' panel at Tech Open Air with panel guests Benjamin Schulz, Sasan Hashemi, Magnus Drewelies and Thomas Käslin.1️⃣ It's not just about reducing the amount of carbon we are emitting, but how to avoid it altogether. (Exactly what Sasan is doing over at Tset) 🔥 2️⃣ Europe is the strongest carbon market in the world. The only way we can keep this edge is by speed of execution.3️⃣ Benjamin's advice to early-stage founders is to find a role model in your field 1-2 years ahead. Let them show you the ropes and skip some of the mistakes.4️⃣ Do things that don't scale and focus on delivering on what your customer needs right now. Validate above all else. 5️⃣ If you want to fundraise, first ask your prospective investor for advice. Collaborative relationships are the best foundation between founder and investor.Thank you to Niko Woischnik and Pamela Pompas Oreiro for hosting us!

Great discussions during the Intrafish Aquaculture Innovation Forum. Innovation and technological development will help us solve the challenges we face as a industry. But this will require an even stronger collaboration between stakeholders across the value chain.
