ThankGod Jacob's Linkedin Analytics

As Founder and Head of Operations at Waide Mobility, Jacob is committed to building inclusive, human-first environments that ensure no one is left behind. Through a blend of inclusive design and AI-powered infrastructure, he has successfully led over 30 digital accessibility transformation projects and trained more than 500 professionals on the importance of equitable access. He is currently leading a continent-wide mission to map more than 10,000 public indoor spaces across Africa in response to a critical and often ignored reality. Ninety-eight percent of indoor locations including airports are inaccessible to people with visual impairments. And because GPS does not function indoors, blind and low-vision individuals are routinely denied the ability to move safely and independently in unfamiliar spaces. Waide Mobility is bridging this gap. Think of it as Google Maps for indoor spaces, providing step-by-step navigation to help users locate elevators, exits, gates, and essential amenities inside airports, hospitals, malls, and other public buildings. This innovation restores autonomy to millions and opens new revenue streams for venues ready to serve the $8T global disability economy through accessible tourism and inclusive infrastructure. Today, Waide Mobility is helping venues gain deeper insight into how people interact with their spaces, enabling smarter and more inclusive decision-making that improves accessibility and operational efficiency for all. Our solution also helps airports enhance ground handling efficiency, optimize fleet movement, and streamline operations by up to 30 percent through real-time asset tracking and predictive analytics. 🚀 Explore the future of accessible indoor navigation at waidemobility.com 🤝 For partnerships, please reach out via DM or email Jacob directly at [email protected]
