Guest Bio
Shirah Benarde / Founder & CEO of Nightcap
NightCap was invented in early 2019 by then
16-year-old Shirah Benarde from West Palm Beach, Florida. The idea came to her
in a dream after hearing about the horrors of drink spiking from friends who
experienced it after going off to college. Fortunately, her friends were okay,
but Shirah was determined to come up with a pragmatic solution to this problem
to protect her and her friends when they went off to college. She also wanted
to make sure the product would be something girls would feel comfortable using.
The next morning, she went to her mother's closet, grabbed a pair of pantyhose,
cut them up, and attached them to a scrunchie to create the first NightCap
prototype.
