Access2Funding Information

Access2Funding is the campaign committed to improving equitable investment in disabled-owned and disabled led businesses. Disabled entrepreneurs face a backdrop of palpable disparities, inaccessibility and barriers to participation and opportunity when seeking investment. Access2Funding challenges this reality. Backed by investors and leading disability-focused organisations, committed to improving the equity of disabled communities; this campaign is pulling together disabled community's entrepreneurs for the first time to achieve three fundamental aims. 1. Collect ground- breaking data on the barriers to disabled entrepreneurs growing their companies. 2. Work with the global investment community to create more equitable support for disabled founders. 3. Grow a community of disabled founders and smashing the stigma around capability through storytelling. Access2Funding is calling upon early-stage investors to break down barriers and improve accessibility, sending a clear message to disabled entrepreneurs that you are genuinely committed to access, diversity, and inclusion. It is time that businesses stop underestimating the value of disabled innovation and work together to unlock one of the most under-tapped opportunity pools in the world.
