The Problem

I'm Disabled.
I Use a Wheelchair.
I'm an Amputee.

Every time I want to go anywhere—a restaurant, coffee shop, job interview—I face the same impossible question:

"Will this place actually be accessible?"

I can't call ahead. The manager doesn't know. Google Maps says "Accessible" but there's a step at the entrance. I arrive 20 minutes early to scout. I miss events because I'm tired of guessing.

This is why I'm building VenueVerify.

Wheelchair Accessibility Matters

Door width, ramp slope, accessible bathroom location, parking proximity—these details determine whether I can participate in life

🦵

Mobility Disabilities Are Complex

One ramp isn't enough. I need to know about stairs, distances, elevation changes, rest areas, and alternative routes

⏰

Data Changes Constantly

Elevators break. Construction creates new barriers. Information needs to be current or it's useless

⏰

I Shouldn't Have to Work This Hard

135,000 disabled people in St. Louis deserve verified, accurate, trustworthy accessibility information

📅

The European Accessibility Act is NOW LAW

As of June 28, 2025, every business in the EU must be accessible. Digital services, physical venues, websites—all covered. Compliance is mandatory.

In the US, ADA enforcement is accelerating. Over 3,000 accessibility lawsuits filed in 2023 alone. Fines: $75,000 to $150,000 per violation.

Businesses need verified accessibility documentation NOW. Not next year. Now.

Why Every Other App Failed

AccessNow (10 years)

After a decade, only 9 venues in cities of 80,000 people. Users abandon it. No sustainable business model.

❌ Volunteer burnout

Google Maps

Binary "accessible/not" with zero verification. No detail. Accessibility is an afterthought, not a feature.

❌ No verification

Wheelmap

Can't edit wrong data. Crowdsourcing only. No business model to fund professional verification.

❌ No revenue

The core problem: They ask disabled people to map the world for free. Volunteer burnout + sparse data = app nobody uses.

How VenueVerify Is Different

We make businesses responsible for their accessibility data. They have budget. They want compliance. We solve it.
