In this episode, we interview Andrew Hedges, a career changer, startup co-founder, and non-profit co-founder. We talk about his journey from traditional employment to tech, the mission of his startup Assistiv Labs, the most misunderstood thing about accessibility, and advice for founders and co-founders. We also discuss The Collab Lab, a non-profit he co-founded, and the benefits of teaming up with others.
Here are some key questions we will answer in the episode:
- What was the catalyst for your career change into tech?
- What gave you the confidence to leave traditional employment to start your own company?
- What is the mission of Assistiv Labs and why is accessibility online and with software so important?
