In the episode mission-driven technologist, disability-tech investor and strategist, Moaz Hamid joins us to talk about why he left a decade long career in big tech to dive head-first into disability tech. 

Moaz opens up about his journey as a child with autism and how he's always had a keen interest for innovation and technology. This lived experience also added to his shock realisation that data about the disability market was non-existent and as a result so was the investment in this space, despite the need, market and obvious untapped potential that the disability community has to offer.
