Stabilized Steps walker attachment provides a stable foundation

If there is one thing Stephanie Gomez knows about starting a business from scratch, it’s that the first steps must be based on stable footing. 

That approach matches the product offered by Naples-based Stabilized Steps, a startup that captured the attention of the leadership of the Tamiami Angel Funds, in addition to several health care entities. Founded nearly two years ago with an invention by Punta Gorda contractor and co-founder Eryk Hardwick, Stabilized Steps’ patented product is a skid-like device attached to the bottom of standard walkers, allowing users to traverse uneven terrain outdoors — including the beach all the way into the water — without fear of falling.
