Hi all, I'm launching a landing page to announce my new startup - www.useROAR.com - a tech wearable company aimed at reducing assaults against women.

We're finalizing the prototypes now and will be crowdfunding on CrowdTilt or Kickstarter later this Summer. The page is meant to collect emails of those interested in learning more about what we're doing so we can have a community ready to go when we announce the campaign.

I'd love to get thoughts from men and women on what you think of the messaging and the idea. I'm here to listen!

[EDIT] - Here's an album showing our circuit boards for the prototypes: http://imgur.com/a/O85fs There are actually two different versions as we're testing out using a rechargeable battery and a cell battery. Each one has a 75db alarm, a bright flashing light, and a bluetooth chip that connect to a smartphone to send a distress text/call.
