Idan Meir is the Co-founder and CEO of RightHear, an innovative startup on a mission to turn public spaces into accessible environments for people with spatial orientation challenges, including people who are blind or visually impaired.
RightHear provides real-time audio descriptions to help the blind interpret and understand their surroundings. We have a free app on iOS and Android, over 2,500 accessible locations worldwide, and an ever-growing user base and community.
RightHear has partnered with leading international brands like McDonalds, Microsoft, and Costa Coffee to improve accessibility compliance as well as promote inclusion, and has significantly grown the number of RightHear-enabled locations in the US over the past year.
Idan is originally from Israel but relocated with his family to Rockville, Maryland in 2021. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Business from The Open University of Israel, and he loves building companies, running, and eating hummus, but not necessarily in that order!
