Empowered Women Empower Women 2025 Roundtable

Mon 20 Jan 2025

Empowered women are transforming accessibility. 

CPARF proudly hosted our inaugural Empowered Women Empower Women Roundtable, spotlighting extraordinary women leaders driving innovation and accessibility. Each trailblazing panelist is a founder or leader at a company that has participated in CPARF’s Disability Tech Startup Accelerator, Remarkable US.

Through seed funding, mentorship, deep dives, and ongoing support, Remarkable US empowers startups to bring affordable, life-changing technology closer to the people with disabilities who need it most. While the world isn’t inherently designed for disabled people, companies like these are working to change that by putting disability at the forefront. They address critical gaps, meet essential needs, and make accessibility more affordable.

We were honored to feature these inspiring women leaders:

  • Bethanie Couri, Chief Operating Officer of We Hear You
  • Nicole Cuervo, Founder and CEO of Springrose
  • Gloria Folaron, Founder and Head of Product of Leantime
  • Julie Lineberger, President of WheelPad
  • Alexa Orban, Director of Marketing Communications of Cephable
