One of our own just made TIME's Best Inventions of 2026. 🏆 Warrior Rising alumni company Lyme alert was named to the list for the first at-home test that detects the pathogen behind Lyme disease. More than 476,000 Americans contract Lyme disease every year. Too many never get tested because no one thought they were at risk. LymeAlert puts the answer in your hands. Test the tick from a person or a pet. Get results in 30 minutes. Use the app to confirm, connect with telehealth or televet guidance, and track where tick-borne disease is spreading. From a whiteboard to TIME's list. This is what backing a veteran looks like. Building something? Apply free at warriorrising.org. Want to back the next one? Make a recurring donation.

Momentum is building for the Lyme and tickborne disease community—but momentum alone isn’t enough. We need to turn it into meaningful change. When patients and caregivers share their lived experiences, advocates organize, organizations unite, and we bring our collective voice to policymakers, we become impossible to ignore.

Together, we’ll build on our recent policy victories, push for stronger federal action, and make it clear that our community cannot wait any longer for answers, treatments, and care. You shouldn’t have to fight this hard for the care you deserve. But until the system changes, we need YOUR voice to help change it. We’re not going to stop at momentum. We’re going to keep pushing until that momentum becomes meaningful change for the people who need it most. 📅 Save the date: Wednesday, February 17, 2027 📣 Join us.

Summer means the kiddos are outside a LOT… ☀️🌿 And while we love all that outdoor time, ticks are unfortunately everywhere, which can be pretty nerve-wracking as a parent. That’s why I am so excited to share LymeAlert with you! LymeAlert provides an at-home test kit that can detect the pathogen that can cause Lyme disease in ticks. It’s designed to support early detection and help families make more informed decisions when it comes to tick bites and exposure. I had the opportunity to chat with Erin Dawicki, CEO & Co-Founder of LymeAlert. With nearly two decades of clinical experience and a background in both teaching and clinical roles, Erin was able to answer some of our biggest questions about ticks, Lyme disease, prevention, and how LymeAlert works. Head to the link in our bio to read our full, informative conversation with Erin and learn more about LymeAlert. And be sure to follow @lymealert and preorder your test kit so you can feel a little more prepared for all those summer and fall adventures with the kiddos! 🦟🌲

Blades. Biotech. Beef. Dog treats. Coffee. Cameras. Ask most people what a veteran-owned business looks like and they picture the same three things. Here’s what it actually looks like across our network. Chris Stroup forges knives in Fayetteville with his wife and kids. Michelle Ewy is a retired Air Force scientist building the first at-home tick test for Lyme disease. Patrick Montgomery went from Ranger Regiment to 420 acres of cattle in Missouri. Jessica Harris spent 20 years as a combat medic and now honors fallen K9s with every bag she sells. Sean Abrusci carried the Marine Corps, a badge, and nonprofit work into a roastery in New Jersey. Jasmine Rush went from the flight deck of the USS Iwo Jima to running a camera. Six founders. Six industries. Nothing in common on paper. Same discipline underneath. That’s the point. There’s no template. There’s just the work, and a network that shows up for it. Which one would you buy from first? Name it below. 👇 This segment is powered by @patriotmobileusa, who back our mission so veteran founders can keep building. Start yours at warriorrising.org

Some packaging does more than sell a product, it helps bring an innovation to market. Lyme disease is an increasingly urgent conversation, especially here in Wisconsin. When the Lyme Alert team came to us, they needed packaging that could introduce a first-of-its-kind product category to retailers like REI. @lymealert lets users test the actual tick to determine whether they carry Lyme disease. Our job was to make that innovation instantly understandable. We built the retail packaging and educational insert around a bullseye-inspired visual system, nodding to both the detection technology and the telltale rash associated with Lyme disease. Then we tested it on shelf alongside adjacent outdoor products to check visibility and impact before finalizing. By pairing breakthrough technology with strategically designed packaging, we helped create a retail-ready solution built to educate consumers, command attention on shelf, and support the brand's momentum as it expands into retail. Congratulations to Co-founder Erin Dawicki , the Lyme Alert team, and our partner Casey Tilli on winning the Ignite Competition at Outside Festival & Summit 2026 in Denver, with REI Co-op as a primary co-presenter. Proud to help bring this innovation one step closer to outdoor enthusiasts everywhere. #brandbuilders #rei #lymealert #packagingdesign #builtforretail
