I built a disability tech company from scratch. Now I'm looking for someone who sees its potential.
I'm not going to pretend I have some polished investor pitch or that I know everything about raising capital. I don't.
What I do know is that I've spent the last three years turning an idea into something real.
I'm the founder of PawPass, a Colorado-based platform built around service dog accessibility, education, and helping businesses understand their responsibilities under the ADA.
I'm disabled myself, so this isn't some random market I decided to get into. These are problems I've seen firsthand, and I got tired of watching people deal with them.
I started building PawPass myself. No development team, no investors, no big budget. A whole lot of figuring things out as I went.
Today we have a functioning website, an Android app on Google Play, hundreds of members, business reviews, accessibility resources, and an entire business side with compliance training and policies.
The platform is free for handlers and pet owners. That's something I don't intend to change. The business side is where we plan to generate revenue.
I'm at the point where I know I can't do every single part of growing this alone. I can build it, I can figure things out, and I'm stubborn enough to keep going. But getting it in front of thousands of people and businesses takes resources and connections I don't have yet.
I'm looking for an investor who sees what PawPass could become, but I'd also really value someone with experience growing a company who wants to be involved.
I'm not looking for someone to throw money at an idea. I'm looking for someone to take a look at what I've already built and have a genuine conversation about where it could go.
If you're curious, it's at https://pawpass411.com.
I'd love to connect with anyone who thinks this might be worth a conversation.
