The Torch Information

The Torch is an innovative early stage software company headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. The flagship web application helps you easily organize and share instructions for how to navigate your life in an emergency. Founder Lenore Vassil and her friends, discussed the possibility of what loved ones would go through if something happened to them while on an adventure vacation. They posed a simple question, “Does anyone know how to navigate your life if something happened to you?” The unanimous response was “no.” Soon after this conversation, Lenore’s father became ill causing her family to scramble to keep the household running while he recovered. Troubled by this, Lenore looked for an easy way to organize and share simple, non-confidential — yet essential — information with her family. She could not find a solution she liked, so she decided to create The Torch. Lenore built The Torch based on lessons she learned as a technology executive for Bank of America, MTV Networks, Verizon and Accenture. She assembled an expert team of software engineers, designers, security specialists, financial advisers and estate attorneys to simplify the complicated process of emergency information management. The Torch is a holistic approach encompassing a range of “what if” scenarios to ensure you are equipped for any situation. The patent pending technology simplifies the complexity of organizing and sharing what matters in a way no other application does.
