Our Mission
Cristian Brownlee
Founder & CEO
I founded Rise Beyond Barriers because the standard business playbook doesn't work for us. I bring 13 years of experience to the table to provide the specific, high-level support that disabled entrepreneurs need to stop surviving and start dominating.

The business world wasn't built for us. It was built for the able-bodied, the well-connected, and the conventional. Rise Beyond Barriers exists to balance the scales. I founded this CIC not to ask for a seat at the table, but to build a new table entirely. One where disability is recognised as a masterclass in problem-solving.
THE REALITY
The standard map is broken. Inaccessible infrastructure and biased capital aren't just annoyances; they are systemic failures. I spent 13 years navigating a system designed to filter us out. I survived it so you don't have to just 'survive'. You can dominate.
THE ARSENAL
We don't do pity, and we don't do 'basic'. We provide the high-level strategy, legal frameworks, and aggressive mentorship that disabled founders are often denied. This is your war room.
THE OUTCOME
Success isn't a dream; it's a metric. We are here to help you build a profitable, sustainable legacy that forces the world to take notice.
The Neurodivergent Edge
We don't just accommodate neurodiversity; we capitalize on it.
Constraint-Driven Innovation
Disability isn't a deficit; it's a masterclass in problem-solving. We harness the unique perspective of navigating a world not built for us to drive breakthrough innovation.
ADHD & Executive Function Strategy
We don't fight the neurodivergent brain; we optimize for it. Our strategies are built to harness hyperfocus and manage energy, turning executive function challenges into creative fuel.
Autistic Entrepreneurship
Deep focus, pattern recognition, and unwavering attention to detail. We leverage the specific strengths of the autistic mind to build businesses that are robust, precise, and visionary.
