• Accomable is the world’s leading platform for booking specially adapted and accessible hotels rooms and holiday rentals, with more than 1000 adapted places to stay in over 60 countries worldwide.

Friends since childhood and regular travellers, Madipalli (who now serves as the company’s CEO) and Sibley are both wheelchair users due to a disability called SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). Frustrated at the lack of travel information available for disabled people (and continually arriving at so-called accessible rentals which had steps!), they launched Accomable in the summer of 2015.
   
• Accomable raised record funding from private investors in May 2016. The company also received funding from the Skoll Centre based at Oxford University, where Mr Madipalli did his MBA, via an initiative to support ventures that deliver social impact.
   
• Accomable’s minimum requirements are that each property must have step-free access, at least one step-free bedroom and bathroom, and that the step-free bathroom has at least one adaptation.
   
• Accomable offers accessible stays everywhere, from stylish country retreats, eco-cabins and adventurous choices to budget friendly inns and slick city hotels.
