Sweden-based mobility app Detecht has secured €395,000 (SEK 4.5 million) in funding to support its international expansion and further development of its technology. The investment includes backing from Chalmers Ventures, alongside existing shareholders.
Detecht has developed a solution that combines crash detection, navigation, and social features for motorcycle riders. Using a smartphone’s built-in sensors, the app can detect accidents such as falls or collisions, while also offering GPS-based route planning. Unlike traditional navigation tools, it allows users to prioritise scenic and curvy routes, enhancing the riding experience. It also functions as a social network where riders can share routes, statistics, and experiences.
The company’s core crash detection technology is based on research from Chalmers University of Technology, and the founding team emerged from the Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship. This combination of academic research and entrepreneurship has contributed to the product’s technical maturity and scalability.
Niklas Ohlsson, CEO and co-founder of Detecht, said that continued support from existing investors and Chalmers Ventures reflects confidence in the company’s growth trajectory.
Today, we are one of the world's largest motorcycle apps where safety, navigation, and community are integrated into a single platform. Now we are focusing on honoring that trust and scaling operations further."
With more than 25,000 subscribers globally and an established presence in the United States, the company has demonstrated growing demand for digital services focused on road safety.
The funding will be used to accelerate expansion across North America and Europe, while continuing to invest in product development.
