So excited for our friends @SdeZarraga and @quinnfitz on their next chapter as @getflare has been acquired by Smart Alert Holdings!
As our second client at @karachi_studio we got to see first hand what amazing product, mission and leadership look like.

@jessalynsays thanks for starting this convo. you are spot on! every day I am reminded why Flare needs to exist, but every day I work tirelessly to put ourselves out of business. We started Flare because our experiences with assault are not at all unique and that is a huge problem
@MchughJess @flarejewelry I know you’ve heard a lot from us but your article is what I've dedicated my life to. I'll be the 1st to tell you that Flare does not solve women’s safety, that's why we work with others who tackle this from many different angles. Our mission is to put ourselves out of business
@MchughJess @flarejewelry Hey Jess - I’m one of the founders of Flare. @SdeZarraga and I created Flare as a result of our own experiences with assault and I wanted to personally respond to you - would you be open to having a chat?
😱 Yes! This one really hits home for me. I have been following @hypebae for a long time and love how @paulybyalexforalexandrapauly explains the nuances of safety in this article. Definitely worth a read! https://t.co/VoDoZ8pSZT
I spoke with @jeffbrownwbz on @wbznewsradio today about how often people are in iffy situations and why @flarejewelry addresses safety as a whole not just emergencies. Listen here: https://t.co/QhsPYRdPRT
I spoke with the founders of @flarejewelry about their $3 million seed round and the launch of a product designed around empowerment rather than fear: https://t.co/aCdefPuBDM @BostInno
.@flarejewelry, the Boston-based startup behind a smart bracelet designed to get the wearer out of potentially dangerous situations and prevent sexual assault, has made its debut with a $3 million seed round led by Lerer Hippeau. https://t.co/1SiO5gmbSz
Backing @quinnfitz and Sara Dickhaus de Zárraga, the founders behind @flarejewelry, was a no brainer. Read their coverage in Forbes to learn why: https://t.co/M6oII8SfeX
Thrilling to watch BOSTON-based cofounders @quinnfitz@SdeZarraga work towards LAUNCH day for @flarejewelry. Sexual assault survivors, they created smart bracelets so you can send a silent FLARE to your tribe to help you out of an iffy situation. #wearyourflare
Women who take a terrifying situation and use it to rise above and help other women is a powerful thing. Really inspired by the work of Sara Dickhaus de Zarraga @flarejewelry and @quinnfitz 👉 https://t.co/D6p9k9dDMx #MeToo#womenempowerment#womenhelpingwomen
