The Problem
1. Accident causing blind-spots
2. Situational awareness
3. Head injuries from outdated EPS liners
4. Response time in critical accidents
5. Aerodynamics from externally mounted HW
The Solution
ICH with our iC-R lineup has solved the critical problems with:
1. 240+ degrees dual rear-view cameras
2. Object & speed detection alerts
3. Emergency SvcAlerts to First Responders
4. Hands-free system & function control
5. Improved safety impact liner
Fortune Business Insights projects the global motorcycle helmet market will grow from USD 7.92 billion in 2021 to USD 20.09 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 14.2% during the 2021-2028 forecast period.
ICH's key target market of potential customers that will contribute to the company's high growth is general full & open face motorcyclists (~70% of the market) globally, with plans to expand into other markets through increased revenue and investments.
Our small global competitors consist of:
Our iC-R model is a better solution, providing: improved situational awareness, Ai, HW integration, hands-free capability, & expanded pricing model selections for greater market capture.
In conjunction with ICH holding an issued Utility Patent on our product & technology, we are positioned to launch with a significant boost with our:
ICH’s goal is to secure an investing partner(s) and the target $1.5M investment to kick-off tooling, & finalize the last ~9% software development completion, stock parts, marketing, current pre-order fulfilment & efficient stand-up operations inside the U.S.
Receiving the initial target funding now will allow ICH to hit its initial revenue goal of $4M+ (1,800 total units) by the end of 2023; ending the year profitable.
With a projected ~13% annual net profit margin after the first full year of sales, ICH will be able to expand its operations inside the U.S. to fully support our global initiative, as well as kick off the strategic research and development planning for other markets; placing ICH in acquisition or IPO position in 3-5 years.
ICH is seeking a $1.5M investment in exchange for a 30% equity stake which jumpstarts the company's position to be acquired or go IPO in the next 3 to 5 years.
We have five-year financial projections along with concrete marketing strategies & relationships to execute our immediate & future revenue targets. With hardware development complete & only ~9% of software remaining, ~95% of your investment will go towards tooling, production, marketing, order fulfilment, & other revenue-driving & business sustainment operational expenses. Our projections show ICH is profitable even at the end of 2023.
ICH is currently ready to enter the Tooling phase.
TheRideAdvice: “The iC-R (Intelligent Cranium) helmet packs a lot of the same technology that these other products do, but what we like most about it is that it actually seems to make an effort to make these features part of improving rider safety instead of just being there for the sake of it.”

Carbon Fiber + Kevlar Superior Protection
Designed to meet the safety standards of today and the future
Each iC-R model is designed and built with care and the utmost safety in mind. For the physical build; we're securing each helmet in Carbon Fiber & Kevlar for the ultimate in durability. Taking safety even further, we're pushing the limits for: DOT, SNELL, and ECE 22.05 certifications prior to shipping. Oh...there's one other one, but we're saving that as a big surprise once obtained.
Note: The iC-R will initially be produced overseas due to time and cost, but the HW assembly/functional testing/QA of our helmets will be completed here in the U.S.
Almost every motorcycle rider has had at least ONE close encounter while riding, where a vehicle almost (or in some case did) blind side them because neither the rider nor the driver of the vehicle saw each other.
The core of our helmets hardware is centered around safety. The iC-R lineup is unmatched in features and safety, with critical safety features like:
[HEADS-UP DISPLAY SOFTWARE] - With our overall software, but specifically dealing with our Heads-up Dispaly (HUD); we've taken a different and what we feel to be a much safer approach. The iC-R is meant to provide you safety first, and an incredible experience. What you see in the above GIF is where we started, but our new approach to what you see on our HUD is simply to show you only the information that truly matters. We're now limiting the information to only the: rear camera FOV, GPS Navigation, unobtrusive proximity alerts, and visual confirmation when you are/aren't recording your ride; which will be shown in a future updates.
[EMERGENCY SERVICES ALERT SYSTEM (ESAS)] - In the event of an accident, our ESAS will alert not only emergency contacts but the nearest Emergency Services (First Responders) if the rider is unresponsive within 5-20 seconds.
[VOICE RECOGNITION/COMMAND] - The ability to perform tasks hands-free is a huge safety concern, and a huge undertaking. So that's what we're doing. Not only are we working to provide you with hands-free functionality while wearing your iC-R, we're personalizing it too with our own artificial intelligence.
[BLUETOOTH W/RIDER-TO-RIDER COMMUNICATION] - Connecting riders with one or many ride buddies via voice activation; on demand. Now providing you with a stronger, more stable connection via Bluetooth Mesh Network.
[FRONT ACTION CAMERA] - With a 4k@60FPS camera riders can capture, share, and live stream their ride and anything in their FOV; in HD with smooth and boundary leveling image stabilization. Designed to be embedded and replace the use of other helmet mounted action cameras; making the rider helmet that much lighter and integrated. Who wants to mess around with mounts and an action camera that's adding a weird amount of weight to one section of your helmet; as well as negatively changing the natural aerodynamics of your helmet as you ride?
[RESPIRATORY FILTER] - Your safety and your health go hand in hand---that's why we've also included a washable respiratory filter to help protect you from dust, allergens, odors, and other invisible & harmful particulates while you're traveling from place to place.
[MODULAR HARDWARE] - The majority of the iC-R's components will be modular, and able to be replaced without the need to replace the entire helmet. This move makes the iC-R even more unique, useful, affordable, and really sets us apart from our competitors. With this in our design, we look to create a number of jobs within the U.S.; further reducing the repair/replacement timeline (if needed).
In any start-up there will be challenges and obstacles to overcome. Some financial, operational, and challenges within ones organization; all of which are unforeseen. The key to succeeding is through perseverance and thinking outside of the box.
Though ICH is not a new company starting our company in 2015, there are many good things about where we are and not being a brand new company; such as:
ICH has endured most of the challenges that cause start-up company's to give up and close down. Since our inception, we have minimized any future risks by:
Realistically, no one can predict every possible issue that may arise within a development such as this. What we have learned through years of experience is to plan and prepare for the worst possible issues; which is what we have done. With your support and trust in the integrity of Intelligent Cranium Helmets, ALL will enjoy the success of this development and the quality of the product that will come from it. Our backers have our sincere commitment that we will provide:
Long-lasting design
We've designed this product to be durable in its Carbon Fiber + Kevlar material makeup, and through the modularity/ease of hardware replacement. ICH also has a plan in place to increase the life-span of our helmets to be able to be used longer than the standard 3-5 years.
Sustainable Distribution
ICH has a plan in place to maintain sustainability; to include a partnership with reputable and capable production company/facility with over 18 years of experience and success in producing like products.
As a company, we hold strong to our values of essentially just doing good business. Once we meet (prayerfully exceed) our campaign funding goal, we will meet our initial production plans. Prior to launching we ironed everything surrounding production out so that we went into this campaign knowing that we would succeed upon successful funding. We're here for the long haul. We sincerely appreciate the support of our current and future fans, and we can't wait to bring forth the first TRULY smart and situational awareness smart helmet.
