About CounterSpike - the company crusade to combat drink spiking

CounterSpike is a UK safety-tech company tackling drink spiking with SpikeStik Pro—an innovative, continuous-use testing device that alerts users (and friends) in real time—paired with the CounterSpike Safety App for emergency contacts, live location sharing, checklists, and incident reporting. Together, they create a smarter, connected layer of protection for nights out, venues, and communities. Our ecosystem is strengthened by SpikeStixx, our rapid-detection test strips developed with a King’s Award-winning UK diagnostics lab, plus education and training for venues, schools, and universities. We’re CE certified and scaling internationally with a clear mission: prevention without panic—NO FEAR.
