If you’ve noticed Evinced has an unusually large engineering team, you’re not alone. That’s by design.
From day one, we understood that if we wanted to approach accessibility the way it needed to be done, we would have to invest heavily in engineering. So we built our business, including our fundraising strategy, around that vision.
We’ve grown this team, this way, for two key reasons:
1. Innovation
When we launched Evinced in 2021, the accessibility landscape was nowhere near where it needed to be. The market was dominated by service-centric businesses and a handful of tools that, frankly, weren’t good enough.
As old hands at product development, our early team knew that companies would never achieve accessibility without at least some automation. A company that ships once a month and has an unlimited labor budget might scrape by with an entirely manual program. But for organizations deploying hundreds or thousands of times a week? For that you’re going to need something more.
As Amazon’s JoAnna Hansen likes to say, “People don’t scale, tools do.” What that means, to us, is that companies with complex websites and mobile apps need tooling to be accessible without slowing down.
So we invested. With every funding milestone, we expanded our exceptionally talented engineering team. Four years later, we offer a product suite of nine breakthrough tools, including unique capabilities like recognizing interactable elements even when they’re not properly defined in a page’s HTML.
2. Customization
As important as great tools are, we also knew early on that customers would need deep, ongoing customization.
Every customer’s environment is unique, and many needs simply can’t be predicted. Rather than keeping our customers waiting for months or years when they have requests (we’ve heard some vendor horror stories on this) we proactively planned for high-touch support by ensuring our engineering team was sized so we could frequently partner with customers.
Roughly half of our engineering organization focuses on customer-driven customization. When a customer needs a new report format, a custom integration, or a workflow-specific feature, our team can move quickly. It’s common for us to deliver customizations in weeks, not months or years.
By the Numbers
As of August 2025 we had 103 engineers who are doing nothing but working on accessibility tooling. As far as we can tell, that is dramatically more than any of our competitors.
This all adds up to a development organization that can do it all: develop industry-leading tools, keep up with maintenance, and be responsive to customization requests from customers.
We think this is a unique approach in the space and our customers certainly tell us so. In the end, a deep bench of talented engineers is what’s needed to take customers where they want to go.
