Values
Values
Techquity values the ability to understand and meet people’s needs at a very deep, very practical level. We believe that this can only happen when people with broad life and professional experiences are brought together in a collaborative, trusting environment with a shared responsibility: to create a world where technology serves everyone’s needs.
Our Story
Techquity is the product of decades of experience from people deeply invested in meeting the needs of disabled individuals. In her years leading the KenCrest organization, Marian Baldini recognized the transformative power of technology to change the lives of disabled people — but also witnessed countless examples where “close” simply wasn’t good enough. The need for a scalable, repeatable, person-centered approach to ensuring technology meets the unique needs of disabled people was evident. Techquity was created to help everyone — product developers, care givers, charities, government and end users — transform the application of technology in the daily lives of disabled people.
