headfirst helmets
Headfirst is developing design-driven urban bike helmets that help city cyclists and e-bike commuters stay safe and confident with our patented SafeFit auto-fit system, motion brake light and multi-impact protection.
Achievement
headfirst successfully launched its first urban bicycle helmet, the Echo Pro, generating €80K in pre-orders from 800+ customers via Kickstarter and Indiegogo, and earning international media coverage (Designboom, Core77, Bright, FHM, and New Atlas). This validated that even in a mature, safety-driven market, there’s clear demand for a design-forward, innovation-led entrant. The Echo Pro has achieved EU, US, and multi-impact safety certifications. We secured €150K in seed and production funding to scale manufacturing and expand across Europe.
