About Eye-able

Eye-able, operating under its legal entity Web Inclusion GmbH, develops software focused on digital accessibility. The company was founded in Margetshöchheim, Germany, in 2020 by Chris Schmidt, Tobias Greiner, Oliver Greiner, and Eric Braun. The inspiration for the company came from the personal experiences of CEO Oliver Greiner, whose best friend has a severe visual impairment and faced significant challenges accessing digital content, which ultimately led to him dropping out of university.

The company provides a suite of software solutions designed to make websites and digital content more accessible for all users, particularly those with disabilities. Its product line includes three main modules: Eye-Able® Assist, an assistance software with over 25 features like contrast modes, screen readers, and adaptive sizing that allows users to customize their web experience; Eye-Able® Audit, a browser-based testing tool to check websites for WCAG and BITV compliance; and Eye-Able® Report, a control center that scans entire systems for accessibility issues and provides a comprehensive overview. The firm also offers AI-driven tools for fixes, content simplification, and translation. Its business model is based on software licenses, serving clients across various sectors including higher education, healthcare, and government agencies. The software is designed for easy integration and is GDPR-compliant.

Eye-Able has achieved notable milestones, including a Series A funding round of $21.5 million in November 2024, led by Yttrium. In late 2022, the company partnered with SoftwareONE, which became the first authorized reseller of its technology in the United States. In December 2023, the former CEO of SoftwareONE, Dieter Schlosser, joined Eye-Able as Chairman of the Board and became a primary investor.
