Message from Ava Co-Founder and winner of Startup Weekend Berkeley, Pieter Doevendans: "In September 2013, more than 3 years ago, something really special happened at the very first Startup Weekend Berkeley. It was the very beginning of an idea to empower deaf and hard of hearing people. That weekend, we built a plexiglass ASL (sign language) device, and won the Startup Weekend.

Today we are launching Ava to the world. An app for deaf and hard of hearing, to understand group conversations and become part of daily professional and social interactions!
