Detecht is a Swedish company that has developed an all-in-one mobile application for motorcycle enthusiasts. Founded in 2018 by Niklas Ohlsson and Tobias Goldman, the company is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, situated in the city's startup hub near Chalmers University of Technology. The firm has successfully secured funding from several investors, including Chalmers Ventures, Almi Invest, and ATM Venture Capital, with a seed round of $400K in November 2019 and subsequent funding from Yuncture Invest and Länsförsäkringar Göteborg and Bohuslän.
The core of Detecht's business is a freemium mobile app available on both Android and iOS platforms. The business model is based on offering a free version with essential features while generating revenue through premium subscriptions that unlock more advanced functionalities. The application serves the global motorcycle rider community, providing tools to enhance safety, planning, and social connectivity. The app has recorded over 170,000 downloads across 20 countries.
Detecht's primary feature is an automatic crash detection system that utilizes the smartphone's sensors. In the event of an accident, the app automatically sends an alert to pre-selected emergency contacts with the rider's location. The premium version enhances this by notifying emergency services directly. Additional safety features include real-time location sharing (Safety Tracking) and hazard warnings for potential dangers on the road. For navigation, the app provides motorcycle-specific GPS with turn-by-turn voice guidance, route planning with customizable waypoints, and the ability to find or create curvy routes and round trips. It also fosters a community by allowing users to find riding buddies, share routes, and view each other's statistics and bike profiles.
