History of ROAR
The company started in 2014 by empowering women with one of the first safety devices built as a fashionable and wearable alternative to existing self-defense tools. In addition, we invested a portion of the proceeds into empathy education to help get to the root of reducing attacks in the first place. ROAR became a market leader in 2017 with sales in over 45 countries and distribution through Amazon, Target, and Urban Outfitters. We received press coverage from Mashable, MTV News, the NY Times, and we won product and technology awards – Top 10 Wearable Companies by Entrepreneur Magazine, Technology Startup of the Year, and others.
In 2018, we parlayed our personal safety experience and technology expertise to focus on workplace safety starting with the hospitality industry. We did so after seeing the staggering number of housekeepers who experience sexual harassment or at more at risk to be injured due to their nature of their work. Hotel panic button legislation started to sweep the Country, and we recognized a clear need for a wearable panic button solution that works in any type of building to ensure the safety and protection and staff, as well as providing a cost-effective option to employers who wanted to meet mandates and take care of their greatest assets.
We expanded into behavioral health in 2021 after drug addiction centers, counseling offices, and health centers started reaching out to us to help them tackle the record-breaking number of assaults and workers comp claims they were facing during the worst labor shortage and significant challenges in recruiting and retaining staff.
