Through Remarkable US, We’re Making Accessibility Accessible
In 2022, as part of a global program, CPARF launched Remarkable US — the first US-based nonprofit-funded disability technology startup accelerator supporting life-changing technology for people with cerebral palsy (CP) and co-occurring disabilities.
Our 16-week accelerator equips startups with seed funding and the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools to become commercially viable businesses making a positive social impact. Through masterclasses, sprints, and deep dives, startups hone their work with personal coaches, experts in everything from market fit to business models to strategy and sustainability. This culminates on Demo Day where each startup pitches to more than 400 international investors, partners, and industry connections. Through CPARF, Remarkable US companies also get access to the CP Research Network of more than 30 participating hospitals, along with world-class disability-focused mentors.
Startups in the US-based program receive $55,000 USD of funding, which is made possible by CPARF, the James and Pamela Griffith Family Foundation, and Aristocrat.
