Abigail “Abbie” Goddard is a 16-year-old entrepreneur, storyteller, and changemaker on a mission to make the world safer — one drink at a time. She’s the founder of Spikey, a discreet keychain that can detect common date-rape drugs in seconds. The idea was born from a deeply personal experience when her family member was drugged in college.

Since launching Spikey less than a year ago, Abbie has grown it from a 3D-printed prototype to a product now in the hands of students, bartenders, and safety advocates nationwide. She’s won over $40,000 in funding through national and international pitch competitions, generated more than $30,000 in sales, and partnered with universities, nonprofits, and soon—law enforcement. Her story has been featured by multiple news outlets, and her TikToks have reached hundreds of thousands of viewers.

Abbie is also the founder of Film For a Cause, a nonprofit producing promotional videos for other nonprofits, and she’s an accomplished public speaker, competitive pianist, and aspiring business major. She’s fascinated by the intersection of marketing, consumer psychology, and film, and dreams of using her ideas to build brands that create real social change.

Abbie believes you don’t have to wait until you’re “old enough” or “experienced enough” to make a difference. If you see something that needs fixing, you roll up your sleeves and GSD.
