Project Description

Campaign Overview

Digital technology has opened the world! With the internet, people have opportunities for jobs, education, e-commerce, communication, and entertainment like never before!

...well, some people do.

Frequently, the 15-20% of people who have a minority brain type and the 20% of people who have a disability are left out of digital spaces and high-tech work environments. If you don’t see, hear, move, or think like the majority, you may be left out of these opportunities.

Furthermore, businesses and organizations that want to expand inclusion to reach all their potential customers and team members often don’t know where to start – how can they be equitable and inclusive online?

At Larunda Inc, we believe in a world where everyone has equal access to digital opportunities. Our B2B Digital Accessibility and Neurodiversity company is dedicated to breaking barriers, empowering change, and creating an inclusive digital landscape. We help businesses become accessibility and neurodiversity leaders through expert digital accessibility and UX research services, education, and accessible SaaS solutions.

 We invite you to join our mission and be part of the movement that drives innovation, fosters diversity, and shapes a brighter future for all.

 

Campaign Objectives

Promote Digital Accessibility

We aim to make the digital world accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities, by providing businesses with expert guidance and solutions for creating inclusive digital experiences.

Champion Neurodiversity

Embracing neurodiversity in the workplace drives innovation. We advocate for inclusive hiring practices and company cultures that empower individuals with unique strengths and talents to contribute to businesses' success.

 

Raise Awareness

Our campaign seeks to raise awareness about the importance of digital accessibility and neurodiversity, encouraging individuals and organizations to support a more inclusive and equitable world.

How You Can Help

During this IFundWomen Campaign, we’re asking for $150,000 to: 

  1. Implement our strategic marketing plan to expand our client base nationwide and beyond. As a fully remote company based in the USA, we know we can reach a wider audience. Plus the more business we have, the more amazing jobs we can create for people with disabilities and neurominorities. 

  2. Fund the creation of a comprehensive digital accessibility and neurodiversity education library, so that you can join us in the inclusion revolution. Whether you are a company leader, manager, product creator, or developer, we’ll have the training you’ll need to bring inclusion into your organization.

 

Be Part of the Change

Join us on this transformative journey by contributing to our crowdfunding campaign. Your support will enable us to expand our reach, provide more resources than ever before, and create much-needed jobs for these minority populations. Together, we can empower businesses, communities, and individuals to break barriers, embrace diversity, and shape a more inclusive tomorrow.
