Building the Future of Autism Innovation, One Startup at a Time

We focus on Healthcare, Safety, Housing, and Quality of Life because these are the pillars that unlock independence, dignity, and thriving futures for autistic individuals and their families. Healthcare & Therapies, Safety & Independence Technology, Housing & Inclusive Community Models, and Quality of Life & Daily Living are the pillars that determine whether autistic individuals and their families can thrive. Together, they address the most urgent gaps facing the autism community: access to effective care and therapies, sustainable housing options, safety and autonomy across the lifespan, and daily living supports that foster dignity and inclusion. By centering our startup cohort on these transformative areas, we ensure every innovation we support moves the needle on long-term quality of life, independence, and equity for autistic people nationwide.
