Cardo Put a Group Chat in Your Helmet - Now It Wants the Whole Helmet
The Israeli electronics maker turned wind noise into a product category, sold millions of intercoms, and built a mesh network riders organize their purchases around. Its next wager is bigger: owning the connected helmet, not merely the gadget clipped to it.
Beam Mobility
The Singapore startup that turned the shared e-scooter into a negotiation with city hall - and is now merging its way to more than 100 cities.
Quin
Quin (Quintessential Design) builds intelligent safety technology for helmets. Founded in 2017 by industrial designer Anirudha 'Ani' Surabhi, the company created the first motorcycle helmets with integrated crash detection and an SOS beacon, then pivoted to an 'ingredient brand' model that licenses its sensor-fusion hardware and emergency-response software to leading helmet makers. Its Quin Pod and Quin Tag devices measure motion thousands of times per second, detect dangerous impacts, and automatically alert emergency contacts and dispatch services with location and impact data across cycling, motorsport, snow sports, climbing and equestrian.
