s [Social Tech Seed](http://www.nominettrust.org.uk/how-to-apply/social-tech-seed)
programme, which offers entrepreneurial organisations early-stage investment to

The ventures:

   makes it much easier for disabled travellers to search and compare accommodation
   and book holidays that meet their individual needs.
 * [GiveVision](http://www.givevision.net/) – its SightPlus headset allows people
   with visual impairment to see more clearly, increasing independence and mobility,
   by using image-enhancing software.
 * [Konnektis](http://www.konnektis.com/) – a digital platform that transforms communication
   between formal and informal carers, to support the 2.5 million older people receiving
   care in their own homes.

> to tackle pressing social challenges. With Nominet Trust’s support through our
> Social Tech Seed programme, these teams have already demonstrated their potential
> to deliver significant social impact. We’re confident that our Social Tech Growth
> funding will now enable them to scale their solutions, transforming the lives 
> of even more people.”
