Ali co-founded Kwema, Inc in 2017 after a friend was kidnapped in South America & made it home safely. Kwema is a swahili word that means “everything’s okay”
Each workday, 7,000 U.S. employees experience an emergency at work and roughly 1,000 result in a death. The time it takes for them to notify they are in danger and for them to get the right help is the biggest factor in these life & death situations. Kwema bridges this gap and saves lives.
Kwema mitigates the safety risks that employees face by providing wearables that activate an emergency protocol. Our technology is designed to avoid adoption hurdles and training costs by being placed in something employees already wear.
Kwema has been awarded participation & funding in the following accelerator program in the last few years:
Recommendations

Ali is a forward-thinking entrepreneur and leader. He is well respected in the start-up community and I greatly appreciate the opportunity to work for and with him. Ali is extremely enthusiastic about his company's mission and vision this makes his work ethic infectious. His leadership and organizational skills are invaluabl and Ali works far beyond the call of duty.
Mohamad Yaghi
Determined is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Ali. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ali for less than a year, but during which he has been an amazing advisor and strategist for my organization. Above all, I was impressed with Ali’s ability to use his network and business acumen to grow his business, while also helping others too. And, of course, his ability to deconstruct obstacles and develop solutions quickly is admirable. Ali is a true asset to the St. Louis community and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
Dennis Hoang, MBA

I highly recommend Ali Jabry as a candidate for employment. Ali is currently working with I Love Chile Media Group as an on air presenter for Chile’s only English language weekly newscast. Ali is responsible for reviewing his scripts and making any rewrites necessary and presenting the material in a manner that English and Non English speakers can digest relate to and understand. Ali has excellent communication skills and in addition, he is extremely reliable and loyal to the organization. Ali can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. He is flexible and willing to work on any project that is assigned to him. Ali has been quick to volunteer to assist in other areas of company operations, as well. Ali will be a tremendous asset for your company and has my highest recommendation. If you have any further questions with regard to this recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact me.
