Our first step is to empower 450M deaf and hard-of-hearing people to a fully accessible world.</span></div> <div></div> </div></div></div> <div><div><div> <div contenteditable="false">Every day, millions of people are excluded from conversations because they cannot hear well what others say. Our CEO Thibault grew up in a Deaf family and saw firsthand how the world was not accessible for them. Together with our CTO Skinner — deaf since age 2 — Thibault co-founded Ava to make live captioning of conversations as easy as turning on captions on TV. </div> <div></div> </div></div></div> <div><div><div> <div contenteditable="false">Our small but fast-growing team has reinvented AI-based speech recognition technology to be in service of people who need it the most. We dream of a 24/7 accessible world, without any communication barrier. </div> <div></div> </div></div></div> <div><div><div> <div contenteditable="false">In this pursuit, we're seeing how much communication skills are critical, yet very far from ideal, to unleash our collective potential. This is for us the last barrier to be lifted. </div> <div></div> </div></div></div> <div><div><div> <div contenteditable="false">Our belief is that well-designed technology can help everyone communicate and connect better — much more effectively and authentically — so humanity can achieve the greatest things together.</div> <div></div> </div></div></div> <div><div><div> <div contenteditable="false">We want to make the seemingly impossible equation of communication <span>1 + 1 = 3</span>, work every time. In other words, make <span>1 &amp; 1 = 3</span><span> </span>a reality.</div> <div></div> </div></div></div> <div><div><div> <div contenteditable="false"></div> <div></div> </div></div></div> <div><div> <h4 contenteditable="false">Life at Ava</h4> <div></div> </div></div> <div><div><div> <div contenteditable="false">We're a small team spread between two cities (<span>San Francisco</span>, where our Product &amp; Growth teams are, and <span>Paris</span> — for our AI team). We care about making the world a much more connected place, and we believe it's best done by a highly creative &amp; driven group of humans working in concert to change the current status quo. We value potential as much as experience and empathy as much as authenticity. Our culture is always evolving though, and we believe new people can and should change how we operate and what we value. A few recurring themes:</div> <div></div> </div></div></div> <div><div> <div contenteditable="false"><div></div></div> <div><div> <div contenteditable="false"> <span>Impact first</span>. We care deeply about building AI technologies that make total accessibility possible while being economically sustainable, respectful of privacy, and beneficial to society.</div> <div></div> </div></div> </div></div> <div><div> <div contenteditable="false"><div></div></div> <div><div> <div contenteditable="false"> <span>Mountain movers</span>.
