In this latest installment of our Accelerator Series, hosts Kelvin Crosby and Chris Maher sit down with Keevin O’Rourke, CEO of Multiple, a startup accelerator dedicated to advancing innovation in autism and neurodiversity tech.

Keevin shares his journey from early entrepreneurship—building college startups and navigating the highs and lows of the accelerator ecosystem—to leading Multiple, where he now supports founders tackling some of the most pressing challenges in the autism community. From lessons learned during failed pivots to insights gained across venture, strategic consulting, and corporate innovation, Keevin brings a uniquely well-rounded perspective on what it takes to build—and scale—impact-driven companies. 

The conversation dives deep into what makes Multiple different: a highly focused accelerator model that prioritizes revenue growth, go-to-market strategy, and investor readiness for startups already showing early traction. Keevin also unpacks the power of storytelling in fundraising, explaining why founders must go beyond “checklist pitches” to create emotional resonance—especially in a space where mission and market opportunity intersect.

This episode blends practical startup advice with a powerful reminder: accessibility innovation isn’t just good—it’s investable.

Tune in to learn how accelerators like Multiple are shaping the future of neurodiversity tech—and what founders should consider when choosing the right program to scale their growth.
