About this episode

Disability is often seen through the lens of charity — but what if it’s actually one of the greatest drivers of innovation?

In this episode of Inside CVC, hosts Steve Schmith and Philipp Willigmann speak with Pete Horsley, founder of Remarkable, a global accelerator for disability technology startups. From Sydney, Pete shares why inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s the smart thing to do for corporations, investors, and innovators.

Listeners will hear:

  • Why disability tech represents a $70B+ market opportunity by 2030
  • How corporations like Apple are proving inclusion is both profitable and transformative
  • The promise (and risk) of AI and robotics in shaping accessible futures
  • Why every boardroom should see disability as an innovation advantage, not a side project

Whether you’re an investor, corporate leader, or innovator, this conversation will shift how you think about talent, technology, and the future of inclusive business.
