Hosted by:

Guest Speakers:

Jacqueline Child - Founder & CEO Dateability

After becoming disabled due to chronic illnesses as a teenager, Jacqueline’s life was forever changed. She was quickly exposed to the ableist behaviors and expectations perpetuated by society. She found dating challenging and would always fear disclosing her disability. She constantly wished she could meet someone else who understood life with chronic illness and disabilities. Since there wasn’t an app to do that, Jacqueline and her sister Alexa decided they would make one. 

Dateability is the only dating app designed for the disabled and chronically ill communities. People with disabilities and chronic illness often encounter ableism on other dating apps. Dateability understands the unique circumstances that present when dating with a disability, which is why they created a safe and accepting space to create meaningful connections for people with physical, intellectual, and psychiatric disabilities.

Ilia Borishchev - Founder & CEO Vibraint

Ilia Borishchev is a serial tech entrepreneur thanks to 30 years of rich business experience that started before his graduation as a spacecraft engineer. As founder and CEO of VIBRAINT he puts all efforts into development and market introduction of neurotechnologies improving people's lives. 

VIBRAINT is a Canadian medtech/neurotech startup working on a breakthrough brain-controlled rehabilitation robot helping paralyzed people regain motion.
