Keep it close.
A compact form designed around the things you already carry, with a physical pull-trigger concept that keeps activation within reach.
SMALL DEVICE. PERSONAL MISSION.
We’re building personal safety that fits into your everyday. Meet She’Safe: a compact alarm and connected-device concept, created with women in mind.
Currently in development. Follow our journey to launch.
THE DEVICE WE’RE BUILDING
From the walk across campus to the journey home, our goal is simple: make a personal safety device you’ll actually want to keep close.
A compact form designed around the things you already carry, with a physical pull-trigger concept that keeps activation within reach.
An audible alarm is at the heart of the design, intended to draw attention when it matters. Sound performance will be confirmed through prototype testing.
We’re developing a companion app with the goal of connecting the device to a phone for contact alerts and location sharing.
The device and app are in development. Phone compatibility, emergency communication, and final specifications are still being validated.
OUR WHY
It started with the people in our own lives. And a question: what could we build to help them feel more confident going about theirs?
Founded by students from Lake Zurich High School, She’Safe grew out of a school business incubator and a shared interest in making personal safety more accessible.
For co-founder Zachary Dannegger, thinking about his cousins’ safety at college helped make the mission personal. Today, our team is turning that motivation into product design, electronics, and a companion app.
We’re still building. We’re learning, testing, and taking the details seriously—because the people who may one day carry She’Safe deserve that care.
See how far we’ve comeSMALL BEGINNINGS. REAL MOMENTUM.
From our first pitch to the work on our prototype, here are a few steps that have shaped She’Safe.
THE BELIEF TO BEGIN
We raised $6,000 in seed funding to help turn our student-founded safety concept into a company and move development forward.
Early investor supportSHARING OUR STORY
Our team joined Master Happiness with Marty Jalove on 98.3 The Life to talk about She’Safe and our journey as student entrepreneurs.

We’ve shared what we’re learning with middle-school business classes, mentoring students as they explore ideas and entrepreneurship of their own.
Student mentorshipBringing the device and companion app together, validating the experience, and preparing for the next stage.
In developmentNot yet. She’Safe is in development, and we aren’t taking orders or preorders. We’ll share availability once the product is ready.
We’re developing a compact personal safety device with physical activation and an audible alarm. A companion app is being developed for planned phone-based features, including alerts to trusted contacts and location sharing. Final features will be confirmed before launch.
Phone compatibility and app availability have not been finalized. We’ll publish supported devices and setup requirements when the app is ready for release.
Automatic emergency calling is a development goal, not an available or confirmed capability. Emergency communication depends on the final app, supported phone permissions, connectivity, and testing. We’ll be clear about exactly what is supported before launch.
