We’re KnoNap, a company committed to ending drug-facilitated sexual assault. After her own experience being drugged and betrayed by a friend while studying abroad, our founder Danya decided to create a product that could empower others to feel safer in social situations: a detection device disguised as a napkin.
KnoNap aims to reduce the risk of sexual assault and create safer spaces, while supporting survivors and combating a culture that blames victims. And while sexual assault is an extremely serious issue to us, part of our mission is rejecting the fear that rape culture forces us to feel, and reclaiming our right to be carefree. With KnoNap, we’re always in the Kno.
