“It feels like my inclusion was optional, and that is a scary message to be told. ‘We were doing you a favour by letting you in the room.’”

AccessNow founder and CEO Maayan Ziv has been working in the accessibility space for over a decade—long enough to know that progress is slow and takes a fight. With DEIA currently being blamed for “everything from bad business decisions to plane crashes,” Ziv joins to explain why she feels the fight is “slipping through our fingers.”

The BetaKit Podcast is presented by CIX SUMMIT, powered by Elevate. CIX is Canada’s largest startup awards program and investment conference that brings together Canada’s most promising tech founders, global investors, and industry advisors to power new deals.
