“Banks and credit unions should pay attention to what Synergies SEED Fund is doing.”
Forbes writer Ron Shevlin’s call gets right to the heart of our mission — to build a world where entrepreneurs with disabilities belong and provide accessible funding for disabled-owned businesses.
It’s a mission rooted in passion, and grown through determination.
Our founder and CEO, Aarti Sahgal, says “This work is deeply personal — for our entire family. It’s about our lived experience and our shared purpose. As my son Angad has grown and navigated life, my work has grown alongside him — shaped by what we’ve learned, what we’ve struggled with, and what we know must change. Synergies Work was born from that purpose — out of our family’s journey.”
Our latest article in Forbes is about more than just telling our story.
It’s about opening the dialogue on how to properly include people with disabilities in the financial and banking worlds, and then how to support them on their journey.
This is a market that’s been unsupported for too long. And it’s open for change.
Ron writes, “the banks and credit unions that recognize this opportunity won’t wait for perfect compliance or comprehensive accessibility audits. They’ll start by listening to people with disabilities, designing products for real financial needs, and partnering with innovators like LetMeDoIt and Synergies Work who understand that independence requires support, not just access.”
Thank you, Ron, for highlighting this important discussion and the role we’re playing. It’s thanks to our sponsors that we’re able to continue this work.
