About Cosmo Connected

Cosmo Connected specializes in developing safety technology for individuals in micro-mobility, including cyclists, scooter riders, and motorcyclists. The company, founded in 2015 by Romain Afflelou and a team, introduced its first product, a connected brake light for motorcycle helmets, at CES 2017. This initial device, which attaches to the back of a helmet, functions as a brake light, a warning light, and can automatically detect falls, alerting emergency services and pre-registered contacts with the rider's GPS coordinates through a companion mobile application.

The product line has since expanded to include connected helmets, glasses, and other lighting solutions designed to enhance rider visibility and safety. The business model involves selling these hardware devices directly to consumers (B2C) and through partnerships with insurance companies and businesses (B2B and B2B2C), which can integrate Cosmo's technology into their own offerings. For instance, the company has partnered with insurance providers to offer services linked to their fall detection technology. The technology aims to provide a comprehensive safety ecosystem for riders by combining hardware with a subscription-based application that offers features like fall detection, emergency alerts, and journey sharing.
