Denis Lee – Co-Founder of AirFlare

Season 6, Episode 93Denis Lee is a Co-Founder of AirFlare, a company built around a simple idea with lifesaving potential – turning the smartphone people already carry in their pockets every single day into a powerful search and rescue tool, and a powerful tool to help ski patrol save time and energy. He left his traditional corporate career to pursue his passions in the outdoors, motivated in part by the passing of a friend who went missing during a winter trip in Washington state. That experience sparked a desire to rethink how technology could help rescuers locate people faster and more accurately. Working with his co-founder, Lee developed AirFlare into an accessible safety platform that allows adventures to share their location with friends and family and give ski patrols and search and rescue teams new tools that work even without cell service.His mission is to make mountain safety easier, more modern, and available to everyone, not just those with specialized equipment.Follow The SnowBrains Podcast:On FacebookOn InstagramOn Threads On SnowBrains.comThis episode was edited by Liam Abbott.
