Rebecca Rosenberg

Short biography

Rebecca Rosenberg is the founder and CEO of ReBokeh (Techstars Equitech 23’), an assistive tech company that creates modern tools for the moderate low vision community. Rebecca was born with an uncorrectable vision impairment stemming from a rare disease called albinism. Like millions of others with “low vision,” Rebecca isn’t blind, but her vision impairment poses daily challenges. Inspired by the shortcomings she experienced with assistive tech growing up, Rebecca founded ReBokeh in 2019, as a college student, with the goal of creating a modern assistive tech tool that empowered low-vision users to make better use of the functional vision they do have, rather than try to replace it with audio or tactile descriptions. In the years since, Rebecca has grown ReBokeh to reach a global presence - with users in 105 countries around the globe. Personally, Rebecca is also a member of the Lighthouse Guild Visionary Board, and has received a number of awards, including being named to DC Inno’s “25 Under 25” list, as well as Technical.ly’s “20 fastest-rising tech companies” list. She has previously spoken to audiences at a wide range of events, including numerous conferences and meetings on vision impairment, the Congress of Future Medical Leaders, and thought leaders in technology inclusion at CES.
