Meet The Team
Ablepreneurs® is built by people who are themselves disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent. We understand how it feels to be frustrated and pushed out by the rigidity of the traditional 9-5 workplace - we also know that entrepreneurship and freelancing can open up the professional world to us in ways that actually work for our body, brain and capacity.
We fully believe and embody - Entrepreneurship has no limits!

What does our community members say
Charlotte - VA Everywhere
Small Business Owner
"Being an Ablepreneur has given me something I didn't realise I was missing - genuine confidence in my identity as a neurodivergent business owner. It's transformed how I show up in my business life, turning what once felt like a barrier into one of my greatest strengths."
Small Business Owner
"Being part of The Ablepreneurs has changed the way I work and has helped me feel 'seen' and not alone. Being disabled in business is difficult to navigate. I feel stronger knowing I am part of a supportive and understanding group of people."
Small Business Owner
"I became a founding member of Ablepreneurs when life took an unexpected turn, leading me to see the world from a very different perspective. Rather than letting disability define me, I have embraced reinvention with resilience, humour and determination.
My story is one of adapting, discovering new possibilities, and using lived experience to help build a more inclusive future - proving that sometimes the paths we never planned become the ones that matter most."
Samantha - Ways To Wishes
Small Business Owner
“Being chronically ill and disabled can be a lonely experience, particularly ticulary when you can no longer part of the traditional onal working world.
Entrepreneurship gave me the opportunity to build work around my health but Ablepreneurs gave me a community of people who understand, support, and celebrate one another and that reminds me that I do belong"
Small Business Owner
“Being part of Ablepreneurs® gives me a community of people who understand that there isn't one "right" way to work or run a business.
As a neurodivergent founder and freelancer, I've learned to work with myself rather than against myself.
I enjoy being able to share my experiences and background in technology, systems and business analysis to help others in our community"
Small Business Owner
“No conventional workplace fits how I work best, So I built one that does.
Running my own business means I work from home, on my own terms, and deliver exacty what I take on. It gives me full control over how and when I do my best work.
That's why I'm proud to be part of the Ablepreneurs® community, and one of the founding members.
