Chronically Capable

What Chronically Capable does

Chronically Capable is a digital two-sided talent marketplace that connects chronically ill and disabled professionals with employers offering flexible, remote, and part-time work opportunities. Founded in 2017 by Hannah Olson after her experience recovering from Lyme Disease, the company is headquartered in Austin, Texas and claims to serve job seekers across 156 countries and all 50 U.S. states. The platform is free for job seekers, with monetization driven entirely by employer-side subscription plans and supplemental services.\n\nThe core product is a web-based marketplace built around a personalized matching engine that routes candidates to roles based on accommodation needs alongside skills. Notable technical features include transparent employee-generated company ratings on inclusiveness, an employer analytics dashboard, and ATS integrations with Greenhouse, Lever, and Workday. The platform supports a community layer (Club Capable) with a 24/7 private forum, virtual events, and partner-developed career courses. The product surface spans three commercial tiers (Ramp Up at $199/month, Elevate at $399/month, and enterprise-priced All Inclusive), supplemented by add-on consulting, training, and employer-branding services.\n\nThe go-to-market combines self-serve employer onboarding with account-executive-led enterprise sales, supported by earned-media coverage in Forbes, Fast Company, Inc., and NASDAQ, plus content marketing, community-led growth through Club Capable, and event-driven recruiting campaigns such as #DisabledInTech. The platform's employer roster includes Levi Strauss & Co., Hearst, Meta, Postmates, Kraft Heinz, Quartet Health, and The Trevor Project. Reported annual revenue is approximately $1 million, and the company's website currently displays a notice that it is \"taking a break\" from operations, which is a material consideration for any investment thesis.
