Not Just Another Dot Com 
Stanford, CA - 04/10/2000 - The Stanford Daily

Four months ago, EmpowerD was only an idea in former yell leader Joe
Cavanaugh's head. Now, the dot-com company aimed at serving the disabled
community employs almost thirty people, operates from an office in San
Francisco, and has nearly secured several million dollars in venture capital.  

In some ways a typical Silicon Valley story - at least four Stanford students
have stopped out to work full-time - EmpowerD has attracted special interest
because of its mission.  

Cavanaugh, who is in a wheelchair, wants to create a site "which could cater
to all the accessibility, news, information and products for the disabled
community."
