I am building and funding the things I wish existed when I was younger. I am the CEO & founder of Diversability, an entirely disabled-run and disabled-led social enterprise to elevate disability pride (think of us like a Disability Employee Resource Group ERG that exists outside of a company) and the founder of the Awesome Foundation Disability Chapter, which awards monthly micro-grants to disability projects ($59.5k to 60 projects in 10 countries). I am a 3x TEDx speaker and have spoken at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Singularity, Harvard, Stanford, and more. My book, The Anti-Ableist Manifesto: Smashing Stereotypes, Forging Change, and Building a Disability-Inclusive World (Hachette Go, 2024) is available in print, audio, and ebook http://tiffanyyu.com/book. Previously, I worked at a venture-backed co-living startup, REVOLT TV, and Bloomberg. I started my career in investment banking at Goldman Sachs, where I worked on over $14 billion of announced transactions.
