Workers Launchpad Demo Day: Touchless

Hey, we're Touchless. We make existing websites less harmful for people with disabilities, those going through a crisis, and those with short attention spans. The Internet has a problem. One of the reasons, well, like me, over the last few years, websites have gotten fat. You know, they could be filled with all kinds of scripts and add-ons, and they often don't talk to each other. They load when they don't need to, and when they load, they load too much, and they know too much about the user and all the other scripts, and they have security risk, etc., etc. You know, this makes accessibility really hard. All it takes is one component, one script, to mess up the keyboard accessibility or make the interface really hard to look at as we move towards the composable web. There's no standard way to measure what's working well, especially components that are not on a web page, and it's not easy to swap components in and out to monitor them, or how they should load and when until now. At Touchless, our product is installed using a script tag or by using an edge worker, and we transform existing platforms to make them 30 to 40 times faster on mobile and 10 to 20 times faster on desktop, which increases conversion rates considerably. You know, in future, upgrades to our panel will make it easy for people to add or remove these optimizations so they don't have to deal with the code. We're focused on very specific markets. We think it's wrong that it's easier to buy a stock, upgrade your phone, or start a business than it is to shop for a car, to take you to work, or to get financial advice from your local credit union, or to access government services, or to find a place to live. You know, we're targeting the industries that need it most. And our team is relentless, it's silly. They've worked with me previously, in telecom, finance and mortgage. And some have worked with me last year to build the world's fastest auto dealer experience. And for me, I found a few businesses, you can look me up on LinkedIn. I also spent six years working on web performance to perfect that. You know, our go to market is super lean, we've developed an $8 million funnel without a website, just by partnering with people in the existing space. And, and also, we've been able to invest over a million dollars in R&D and, and become profitable. Our solution makes it easy to add a layer on top of an existing site. It just works like magic. You know, we're using the edge for good and we make it so you don't have to touch the mess. And that's why we're named touchless.
