ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Level Access, the leading provider of digital accessibility solutions, reported that it surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) earlier this year, making it the first-ever digital accessibility-only company to achieve this milestone. This accomplishment elevates Level Access into an elite group of centaur companies, an achievement seen as even more valuable than unicorn status and one that emphasizes the growing global demand for digital accessibility solutions.
“Achieving this milestone is a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering a market-leading solution that scales to meet complex organizational needs,” said Mark Zablan, CEO of Level Access. “But this milestone represents much more than a financial achievement. It reflects the extraordinary work we are doing—together—with organizations around the world to make digital experiences accessible for everyone and the meaningful impact this work has on the lives of countless individuals who experience digital barriers.”
More than 1.3 billion people worldwide live with a disability. Many of those disabilities impact the way in which an individual can interact with a digital experience or whether they can interact at all. Level Access’s suite of solutions empowers organizations to make digital experiences accessible for everyone while also ensuring those experiences comply with legal standards.
Recognized growth and industry leadership
Since its founding in 1999, Level Access has experienced impressive growth, elevating the organization to industry leadership. In addition to its continued inclusion on the Inc. 5,000 fastest-growing company list, Level Access was named a leader in Forrester Research, Inc.'s inaugural Forrester Wave™: Digital Accessibility Platforms, Q4 2023, where it received the highest scores in key categories: platform, roadmap, partner ecosystem, pricing flexibility/transparency, and supporting services and offerings. Growth milestones also include Level Access’s merger with eSSENTIAL Accessibility in August of 2022, bringing together the market-leading platform and the deepest bench of digital accessibility expertise, and its market-transforming acquisition of UserWay in March of 2024, adding advanced automated remediation and personalization into its solution capabilities.
Future-focused
Under the leadership of new CEO Mark Zablan, appointed in October 2024, Level Access will build on its financial success to accelerate its growth trajectory, renewing its focus on solution innovation, finding and hiring top-tier talent, and strategically expanding into new markets. The company’s expansion plan includes supporting more organizations in the U.S., as well as organizations in Europe, as digital accessibility mandates take hold around the world.
"The unwavering support from our current investors at KKR and JMI has been instrumental in our journey,” Zablan added. “I’m honored to lead our incredibly talented team through this next phase of growth as we continue transforming the digital accessibility industry.”
