Sports are for everyone
Our Founding Story
In September of 2021, at the start of his junior year at the University of Washington, Jerred came across a video of a blind man at a soccer match. The man in the video sat with a sighted woman who watched the game below and simultaneously moved his hands across a tactile game board to represent the action on the field. This manner of watching the game through touch was meaningful but uncommon. Jerred quickly formed a team to realize the vision, pulling from engineering, design, and entrepreneurial corners of the university.
Grounded by lived experiences with visual disability and united by a love for sport, we are committed to driving sustained and widespread impact. Today, almost three years from inception, we’re welcoming a new era for accessible entertainment.
We hope you’ll join us on our mission to make live sports accessible to all.
