Presenting: Be More Adaptive – Global Hub for Disability Access

Be More Adaptive (https://www.bemoreadaptive.org/) – Founder Caitlin Conner presenting, is a global platform integrating disability resources, community, and commerce.

Disability can affect anyone at any time through injury, illness, aging, or circumstance. Unfortunately, most people don’t know what help exists or how to access it. Information is fragmented, full of jargon, or outdated, which erodes trust and keeps people stuck. Be More Adaptive® solves this by unifying verified resources, surfacing real-time gaps, and coordinating ecosystem partners to close them. Our platform helps individuals, caregivers, employers, and public institutions access actionable guidance, trusted tools, and inclusive services through GLODAR®—our global resource index—and built-in community features.

Our target market is individuals with disabilities, caregivers, and organizations in the US who need trusted, accessible, and comprehensive guidance and are willing to pay for adaptive services, equipment, and premium platform tools. Our competition is Google Search, disparate nonprofit directories, and unverified social media groups. Our competitive advantage is our integrated, outcomes-focused platform backed by verified data, multilingual accessibility, privacy-first controls, and cross-sector collaboration.

The total market size in 2025 is $36B for accessibility-related products and services in the US, with total market revenue exceeding $700B globally when including caregivers, public institutions, and B2B accessibility tools.
