Most cyclists don't wear helmets, and it costs lives; I commissioned a survey to
find out why, and what I found shocked me. 88% of people agree that their lives are
at risk without wearing a helmet, but the reason they don't wear one: "helmets are
cumbersome". So, I set out to make safety easier and more accessible, than ever
before. Three years of safety, testing, and design iteration later, and we've
launched; we've now started shipping, and I've got to tell you, people love it!
It's won five prestigious awards, and the press love it too.
I love this bicycle helmet, this is my favorite, Anthony has his favorite,
but it's actually my favorite too, I love that. So, what have we achieved so far? We
have patents granted in many countries and pending in several others. We're
safety certified across the globe. We crowdfunded on Indiegogo, we wanted to
raise $35,000 to start manufacturing, we raised almost $400,000. We're already in
production and so far, we've made and sold over four thousand helmets. We've
secured a licensing deal with one of the world's biggest helmet manufacturers,
Strategic Sports, they plan to license Morpher technology to their extensive
client base, using their sales force, giving us instant worldwide distribution,
we've got some serious traction. We're here, because we need your investment, to
take us to the next level, and we'd like to offer you the opportunity to get
involved in this early stage of our rapid growth. Let me give you an overview
of the market opportunity, today in Europe and in the U.S, more bikes are sold
than cars. And now, of course, all major cities have bike share schemes, there are
over 900 bike share schemes in the world, and they represent over a hundred and
sixty million riders, and you know what, 92% of them don't wear helmets, yet. But
Morpher is more than just cycling safety, we've already got plans to extend into
snow sports, security, and defense. Our target market is immense, and to
capitalize on it, we're seeking your investments. And in fact, Morpher is
already working on an incredible range of new safety products, but there's so
much more we want to do. With your help, we'll be able to seize this huge
business opportunity, and make safety easier and save lives, I hope you'll join us.
Meet the first helmet designed by former SpaceX engineers, and a super collapsible
form factor; the helmet implements next-generation materials, and looks like
a baseball hat. My sister was riding her bike through the
intersection of Park and Diamond, when she was hit by a car;
she spent the next four months in a coma. As two engineers, we knew that if we put
our heads together, we could do something about this problem.
Helmets aren't worn, because they're uncomfortable and inconvenient, people
don't want to carry around huge chunks of foam; it became more important now
than ever, that helmet that's comfortable, attractive, portable, and safe; to make
sure the helmet is as safe as possible, we've done thousands of impact tests in
our lab, and not only does our helmet meet all of the Federal regulations, it
surpasses them. Bike share programs are growing at over 25%, year over year. More
Americans are taking a bike to work than they ever have before. There's millions
of people out there that need a product like ours. The portability of being able
to roll up the helmet, allows you to easily carry it with you, and best of all,
provide the same or better protection as any traditional helmet. There's a really
broad future for Park and Diamond, the styles and options are limitless. We're
positioned to protect as many people as possible.
With your support, we'll be able to protect millions of bike commuters every
day, please go to Park and Diamond.com and pre-order now.
