Shirah Benarde is the visionary founder and CEO of NightCap, a company revolutionizing drink safety with innovative solutions. Her journey began in 2019 at just 16 years old, when a friend's harrowing experience with drink spiking had her dream up a preventative tool, the NightCap Scrunchie, a hair accessory that doubles as a drink cover to protect and deter unwanted substances from being added to beverages.
Together with her brother Michael Benarde, Nightcap's president, Shirah transformed her idea into a groundbreaking product. Their 2021 appearance on "Shark Tank" secured investment from Lori Greiner, propelling their mission to new heights. NightCap has since sold over one million units across 40+ countries; amassed a social media following of over 600,000 with over 500 million views; and earned accolades such as Forbes' 2024 Under 30 in Retail & Ecommerce. Their products have been adopted by over 200 colleges, U.S. military bases, and major liquor brands like BacardÃ, Patron and Grey Goose. The Benardes have partnered with Bumble and expanded their product line catering to diverse consumer needs.
The Benarde siblings are passionate speakers who share their entrepreneurial journey, how to stay safe in social settings, insights on creating solutions for social impact, and strategies for overcoming challenges in business and life.
