Meet Jackie Ros - she's a high-energy, innovative-thinker who started the revolutionary tech company Revolar just two years ago. Revolar makes wearable tech devices that allow you to communicate with your loved ones with just a push of a button. If you are actually in danger, it seems like it would be easy to make a phone call, but in the heat of the moment, it's unrealistic to fumble for a phone, unlock it, dial out and wait for answers. Jackie started Revolar after her sister was assaulted as a teenager. The guilt she experienced over not being able to help, led to the idea that would change her life (and many others' lives too).

  Sergio Gomez explains some simple steps to improve your art career and be innovative, Jacqueline Ros designed a tech-safety platform to minimize bad situations, and Brenden Dougherty plans to share indigenous cultural perspectives of the world.

Jacqueline Ros sits down to discuss how she turned her idea for a company into a reality. Jacqueline is the CEO & founder of Revolar, a wearable technology company that empowers greater personal freedom.

“It’s more than a business,” shared Jacqueline Ros, founder and CEO of Revolar, a Denver, Colorado based personal safety wearable tech company. “It’s a movement. A movement of people taking back their lives; people living their lives without worrying about what they are wearing, where they are going, or what time they’re going out. We use empowerment and not fear. That’s the entire point of Revolar.” - Via Amysmartgirls As the CEO and founder of Revolar, Jacqueline has always held a passion for social issues. Jacqueline founded Revolar to disrupt rape culture and change the way people keep themselves and those they love safe. At the helm of Revolar, Jacqueline and her team ran a successful Kickstarter campaign, did the Techstars Boulder 2015 accelerator program, made the Top 25 for Sir Richard Branson’s Extreme Tech Challenge and most recently closed a $3 million financing round with The Foundry Group.

Our favorite part about her project? Her commitment to the movement of women empowerment!

Jackie was a teacher in Aurora, while at the same time building up a tech company. She didn't have a background in technology, but the idea was born out of a personal story and a passion to keep our loved ones safe in a smart, modern way.
