?? What an incredible experience at DeafNation in Little Rock, Arkansas! ?? We had the amazing opportunity to meet Warren "Wawa" Snipe, a Deaf influencer, who downloaded our Taptic app! ?? We also connected with Sorenson Communications Accessibility Support, T-Mobile Accessibility Wing, and so many inspiring Deaf advocates, professionals, and community leaders. ??? This journey was as strenuous as it was awesome, and we’re so grateful for the chance to learn and grow from these experiences. Every conversation and connection drives us to make Taptic even better for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Catch us next in Chicago, IL, on November 2nd! We can’t wait to see what’s in store. ?? #TapticApp #DeafNation #Accessibility #DeafCommunity #DeafInfluencers #Innovation #TechForGood #LittleRockToChicago

An inspiring day at the Northwestern Medicine Mansueto Innovation Institute! ?? We had the honor of introducing Taptic to leaders and physicians from Northwestern Medicine, learning about the critical role of tech in healthcare and how startups can collaborate with hospitals to better care for patients. The feedback from doctors and board members was incredibly valuable as we discussed ways to enhance patient experiences, empower providers, and improve health outcomes. A special thank you to Salvatore LoGrasso for hosting and bringing together such a talented group of entrepreneurs. And of course, a huge shout-out to the World Business Chicago team—Manleen Rajput and Nicole McCarthy— for always creating opportunities for collaboration and impact. Looking forward to continuing these conversations and making a lasting impact in healthcare! #HealthcareInnovation #TechForGood #Taptic #DeafTech #StartupCollaboration #Innovation

?? Wrapping Up an Incredible Journey at 1871! ?? After an amazing 10 weeks at the 1871 incubator in Chicago, Taptic is transitioning back to IU Bloomington until May 2025 so that we, the founders and seniors in college, can complete our degrees. Our time at 1871 has been nothing short of transformative. We are incredibly grateful for the support and opportunities we've received. From insightful mentor sessions and workshops to the inspiring PYROS Cohort, every moment has been a learning experience. We've had the pleasure of meeting brilliant founders, making invaluable community and corporate connections, and gaining advice on building a successful startup. The talent and dedication that surround 1871 have constantly inspired us to push our boundaries. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Your guidance and encouragement have been instrumental in our growth. We look forward to applying all that we've learned and continuing to make a positive impact with Taptic.
