Embrace an ownership mentality.
Take initiative to leave things better than you found them.
Every Word Counts.

Making Waves in Accessibility: The Echo Labs Story
At Echo Labs, we're on a mission to make education accessible to everyone, and we believe that starts with making accessibility itself financially accessible. Founded just a year ago with the support of leading educational institutions and d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing NGOs, our team has been driven by a passion for breaking down barriers and creating inclusive learning environments.
Our groundbreaking Echo Labs Captioning Platform has been turning heads in the tech world, hailed as the first solution capable of delivering ADA-compliant, >99% accurate closed captions at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. The overwhelmingly positive response to our launch led to a record-breaking pre-seed raise of $7.4 million, empowering us to bring our accessibility solutions to universities and colleges worldwide.
