WeWALK is a mobility aid for the 253 million visually impaired people worldwide. The team estimates a $250 billion market by pricing at $1,000 per user and plans to reach customers through blind schools and agencies via a subscription app.

If you multiply out 250 million people by $1,000, you've got a $250 billion market size. Maybe you can go into that and how many people actually will get this thing.
We're not just going after those 50 million cane users, but actually those 253 million visually impaired people worldwide, because they can still use our software app package for a monthly subscription.
Right now, there is no such technology. Our target is to reach all those blind schools, blind agencies all around the world and make WeWalk the de facto mobility aid. How did you find each other? In a social innovation program. All our technologies are based on our lived experiences.
