The answers, up front.

Third Eye Worldwide (TEWW) is a registered non-profit technology NGO, founded in 2025 by a visually impaired engineer who believed the tools available to blind and low-vision users were decades behind what was possible.

Today we're a small team — three full-time staff and six active volunteers — building voice-first, open-source tools for the blind and low-vision community. Our founder lives the problem we build for: no product decision ships without lived experience in the room.

We build voice-first, open-source assistive tools — free at point of use. Today we have two active projects:

• TE — AI Voice Navigator. A voice assistant built into our website. Say "Hey TE" and go anywhere on the site, read the page aloud, switch themes, or control the audio tour — no mouse, no keyboard.
• Third Eye World. A voice-first social network for blind and low-vision users — every post is a voice memo, every action is a voice command. In build; public beta coming soon.

Everything we ship is MIT-licensed forever, designed for the lowest-bandwidth conditions, and shaped by users who live with visual impairment.

To give every blind and low-vision person on earth full, independent, dignified access to the digital world — at no cost, on whatever device they already own.

We measure the mission in three ways: the number of people who gain a capability they didn't have yesterday, the share of our tools that stay free and open forever, and the percentage of users who say our software feels like it was built for them — not adapted to them.

Five non-negotiables. Every hire, product decision, and partnership gets measured against them:

• Dignity first. Accessibility isn't a feature we bolt on — it's the foundation we start from.
• Nothing about us, without us. No product, policy, or program is designed without the people it serves in the room.
• Open by default. MIT-licensed code, crowd-sourced translations, public research.
• Built for where people live. If it only works in a San Francisco lab, it doesn't work.
• Radical transparency. Every dollar is traceable, every impact number auditable, every mistake we make is published.

Because the work is unambiguous, measurable, and personal. Every feature you ship, every language you translate, every voice command you tune lands in the hands of a real person who gains independence they didn't have before.

• You'll have ownership. Tiny team, real mandates. We're three full-time staff and six volunteers; new contributors ship to production in their first week.
• Founder-led accessibility. Our founder is visually impaired — every product decision is weighed against lived experience before it ships.
• Your work stays free. Everything you build is MIT-licensed forever. No acquisitions, no paywalls, no "pro tier" someday.
• Voice-first, by design. We're building tools where blind users are the default users, not an accommodation.
