HollarHype CEO, Emily Zaccardi, and Puffin Innovations Founder/CEO, Adriana Mallozzi—both tech founders from Boston, MA—teamed up on a shared belief that solutions focusing on accessibility, inclusivity, and mental health are imperative for the desired outcome: a more connected world.

They've recently founded Quirk LAABS (along with 2 others), a non-profit empowering entrepreneurs and creators with disabilities through powerful connection solutions like hollarhype, a voice-based emotional support tool.

Together, they are ready to share their vision with the world, starting with the SXSW virtual stage.

Finalists will be chosen in part based on crowdsourced popularity, so please take a moment to UP-VOTE this submission by FRIDAY, NOV. 20th @ 11:59pm PST if you'd like to see emotional support and diversity inclusion addressed at SXSW (or if you'd like these innovators to gain incredibly helpful exposure to accelerate their work!). https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/110960

**Please consider SHARING this with people in your network, especially disability or mental health advocates. Our work is a cumulation of the efforts of many who focus on these disciplines and we will be glad to represent just that through collective support.
