Changing What’s Possible: The Disability Innovation Podcast | Season Three

Technology can make it easier for people with disabilities to access and engage with their communities, and We Hear You is dedicated to building a world with diversity and inclusion as the foundation of innovation. In this episode, you’ll hear from Pierre Paul and Ashley Schreck. Pierre is Founder and CEO of We Hear You, a startup company in our 2024 Remarkable US Accelerator Program. 

Pierre shares the story of how the company began, the sign-language interpreter that got them started in disability tech, and their latest products, which focus on increasing accessibility by making it easier for people with disabilities to open doors and enter spaces. The Hero Door Opener can make virtually any door open automatically, and the Push Fob puts the power of opening automatic doors in your hands. This means you can say goodbye to struggling with wall-mounted push plates for automatic doors. 

Ashley joins us for the second half of the episode to talk about her experiences using products from We Hear You. As the Director of Marketing at EP!C, an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of people with intellectual/developmental disabilities based in Peoria, IL, Ashley and her team partnered with We Hear You to test their products and provide feedback.
