Our Story

  • Sip Buddy was born from a simple idea: no one should ever have to question their safety while enjoying a night out. Our team combines technology, research, and design to create something more than a product, a movement for safer nights.

    On our home college campus, 25% of female students suspect that they’ve had their drink spiked in college. Yet the crime remains unseen, untraceable, and largely ignored by police and lawmakers. We want to change that.
