While working at Oracle, Navin Thadani found himself wrestling with an unexpected technical challenge.
He was trying to make the company’s existing applications more digitally accessible—part of a growing personal interest in ensuring that all consumers, including those with disabilities, can successfully use websites and apps—but it was tough. He and Oracle colleague Gal Moav realized why they were having so much trouble: There just weren’t the right kind of automated tools available. So, the two left Oracle in 2018 to cofound Evinced, a startup building solutions to improve web and mobile accessibility.
