Childhood friends Srin Madipalli and Martyn Sibley, who both have spinal muscular atrophy, launched Accomable just over two years ago “less as a company or product but more as a mission and a dream”.
The pair won a grant from Oxford University and raised £300,000 from a group of investors. They have grown the Accomable inventory to include properties in more than 60 countries.
Accomable’s website will be wound down in the next few months and be redirected to Airbnb, which has pledged to expand the number of accessible properties worldwide.
