Pavely

Finalist Details

Pavely is a social planning app designed for individuals with accessibility needs, offering vital information about accessible places and activities. Founded by Kate Meade and her son Chester, who has Autism, Pavely's mission is to empower people with disability to have the confidence to explore their communities independently.

Pavely gives users û called Pavers - a voice, allowing them to pin and rate the places they know and love in their local area. Through these user-generated pins and ratings, Pavely provides qualitative insights into venues, focusing not only on accessibility features but also on how staff interact with patrons. This helps foster a positive community atmosphere, improving public perceptions and reducing stigma surrounding disabilities.

Pavely aims to create the world's best community for those living with disability, offering Pavers greater independence and access to their surroundings.
