| | | | TEDCO invests in ReBokeh ReBokeh, a Baltimore-based assistive technology company dedicated to aiding individuals with moderate low vision, recently secured a $200,000 investment from TEDCO's Social Impact Funds. These funds are designed to engage and invest in underserved founders and communities. The recent infusion of cash into ReBokeh — named one of Baltimore’s RealLIST Startups this year — holds the potential to further the company’s financial position, but also enhance the prospects of securing subsequent funding opportunities, a goal of TEDCO’s impact funding. “The world isn’t always created with accessibility in mind, that’s one reason why Rebecca’s innovative thinking is important,” said Jean-Luc Park, senior director of TEDCO’s Social Impact Funds, in a written statement. “We are pleased to invest in this innovative thinking, supporting the next generation of entrepreneurial spirits looking to solve everyday issues.” HQ’d in Towson, Rebokeh was founded by Rebecca Rosenberg, who personally experiences the limitations of conventional assistive technology, to address the shortcomings of existing low-vision solutions. “Pre-existing solutions were outdated, prohibitively expensive, and designed to replace even the good, working vision I did have. ReBokeh is changing that," Rosenberg said in the release. "Thanks to TEDCO's support, ReBokeh will continue to develop and offer tools that empower millions of low-vision people to live better with independence." – Technical.ly reporter Alanah Nichole Davis (alanah@technical.ly) Dell Technologies biggest sale of the year.
