Conversation: Battlefield alum DevAlly raises €2M to help companies with Europe’s feisty new accessibility law Crunch

A: Hey there! Have you heard the news about that new law in Europe?
B: No, what's up?

A: Companies have to make their websites and services accessible for people with disabilities or they could get fined! It's like the data privacy thing before it.
B: Oh, really? I didn't know that. So companies in America still need to work on this, huh?

A: Yeah, even big ones are scrambling at the last minute. There's a startup called DevAlly that helps them check for accessibility problems and make sure they follow the rules. They use AI and stuff, so it's more efficient than hiring human consultants.
B: That sounds pretty cool. I wonder if they'll expand to the U.S.?

A: Actually, they plan to start sales in San Francisco! They already got some funding from investors in Europe, which is exciting.
B: Wow, that's great for them! It would be nice if more companies here could become more accessible too.

A: Exactly! Accessibility can help a lot of people, not just those with disabilities. And it's good design, you know?
B: Yeah, I agree. Let's hope more companies start to take notice and make their services more accessible for everyone.
Summary
New European law mandates website accessibility for companies, avoiding fines, similar to data privacy regulations. A startup called DevAlly uses AI to help companies meet accessibility standards, expanding to San Francisco with funding from European investors. The service aims to assist companies
