Description
The Ability App was featured on The Ellen Show:

The website on it is at:

It seems like Ability App is in a design and fund gathering phase and it is well promoted by a bright young person.
Some questions that would be nice to answer include:
- Are there features in Ability App that we should include in AccessLocator? Employment search is something different mentioned in the Ellen Show but are there more subtle ideas?
- How far is the Ability App from being fully functional? They at least have a prototype shown on Ellen.
- What is their plan for implementing it? Will they pay a software company to do it?
- How much funding total do they have? It looks like they got a cheque on the Ellen Show for $25k but they also have a gofundme making separate money. Are there any less obvious sources of funding like grants or prizes?
- Would it be a good idea to contact Alex for a potential partnership?
