Forcite Helmet Systems has been around since 2016, but Co-Founder and CEO Alfred Boyadgis has been testing and developing the brand’s smart helmet concept as far back as 2013. That slow and steady growth helped the Australian startup find its footing in the smart helmet segment, differentiating itself with a chin bar-integrated camera, internal lighting, and audio system to alert riders to potential hazards, traffic updates, and police proximity.
That patience paid off when the Founders Edition MK1 helmet went on sale in 2019. After quickly selling out the first 1,000 units, Forcite opened sales for the 300-unit Pioneer Pack in February, 2021. Most recently, Forcite opened an Equity crowdfunding campaign at the request of long-time brand supporters. Along with funds from Uniseed and Atlas Advisors Australia, the crowdfunding proceeds will help the firm with mass production and global expansion.
