That's the gap between disabled and non-disabled founders receiving VC funding. The money exists. The programs exist. It just doesn't reach the people it's meant for.
One issue a month. Free. For women who refuse to miss what's theirs.

I'm Storm Menzies, founder of ByStorm Beauty. I built Accessibility is Hot because grants, programs and real money exist for ambitious women facing systemic barriers — but the information travels in networks they're never let into.
So most of it goes to the same people. Not because they were the only ones who qualified. Because they were the only ones who heard.
This is the filter. Monthly. Free. For the women who are done finding out after the deadline.
Grants, accelerators and programs open right now. With deadlines. Because finding out after the close date is the opposite of useful.
Explicit money. Jobs, grants, gigs with real figures attached. Not exposure. Not a seat at the table. Not a thank-you bouquet at the end of an unpaid panel.
Where disability meets culture, commerce and capital. The signal, not the noise. The Selena Gomez story. The Stelios Awards. The Cartier brief.
The reads worth forwarding to your board. Already found, so you don't have to hunt. Research, data, tools.
If any of this landed, the next issue is for you. Monthly. Free. Unmistakably yours.
