Finalists for this year's Harvard President's Innovation Challenge, Serge and Javier sat down with us so that we could find out more about building their company and working together as a family. If you want to see the company (and the 11 other finalists) pitch its product as part of next week's Harvard President's Innovation Challenge Award Ceremony, you still get tickets at www.i-lab.harvard.edu.

Harvard Innovation Labs Stories: Quinn Fitzgerald and Sara De Zarraga - Flare

When Sara de Zarraga and Quinn Fitzgerald met at the Harvard Business School, they both shared a yearning to leverage business to improve the world. Working together they have built a product to help others stay safe and prevent sexual assault and other dangerous situations. With their company, Flare, they have developed a device to notify others of danger or a potential assault. Hidden as a piece of jewelry or other unassuming personal accessory, their device can keep people safe in a wide array of situations. What they're doing with Flare is radically trying to reinvent personal security. And they are close to doing just that.
