Invented and engineered by someone with a disability.

“We, as people with disabilities, rely on the kindness of strangers, and hope that their kindness will make our world accessible. That only gets us so far: Now for the rest. Our world can be made accessible, and it doesn’t need to be hard.”

— Santiago Velasquez

Meet our co-founder

Hailo's story begins with Santiago Velasquez

Santiago Velasquez is a blind innovator who transformed his transit challenges into solutions. Facing a system that often failed to accommodate his needs, Santiago co-founded Hailo to bridge the accessibility gap in public transportation.

While our app is designed with the needs of riders with disabilities in mind, it elevates the transit experience for everyone, fostering ease, safety, and enjoyment in public transportation.
