Company Summary

Bimini is the first design-led personal safety brand, closing the carry gap: 48% own pepper spray, fewer than 1 in 10 carry it — a design failure inside a $2.2B safety market. Our refillable OC spray is built for Gen Z women who deserve premium form and real function. Co-founder Estella is that customer: a UO student building what she'd actually carry. We earn attention through content-native creators before paying for it.
