    KKR today announced a $55 million investment in eSSENTIAL Accessibility (“eA” or the “Company”), the pioneering provider of Accessibility-as-a-Service. As the digital divide for people with disabilities expands and the number of companies facing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-related litigation continues to skyrocket, eA’s digital accessibility platform addresses the growing demand for a comprehensive, sustainable solution.

    “As our dependency on digital connection increases, inclusive experiences have never been more critical – a need we are laser-focused on addressing,” said Mark Steele, Co-Founder and CEO at eSSENTIAL Accessibility. “This financial and strategic support from KKR will enable us to scale our technology, processes and human expertise even faster, meeting the increasing demand for accessible online content and better supporting our customers’ commitments to disability, equality and inclusion programs.”

    It is estimated there are more than 1.7 billion websites and mobile apps today, with 500,000 new websites created daily. Yet the vast majority contain barriers for individuals with disabilities, contributing to the rising number of legal claims against companies that have yet to solve this problem. eSSENTIAL Accessibility’s platform provides the tools, technology and training needed to fix accessibility from design to code, ensuring online equality against the backdrop of more than one billion people worldwide who are living with a disability.
