Woolf Helmets, the world’s first foldable smart helmet, has launched an equity raise on Republic Europe (formerly Seedrs) to bring its innovative product into full-scale production. The company is seeking investors to support its expansion and capture the fast-growing micromobility market.
The Woolf Helmet features intuitive hands-free turn technology, motion-sensitive brake lights, and a patented Energy Reduction Technology® (ERT) that reduces rotational impact forces and resulting traumatic brain injuries. It also folds flat in less than a second, making it easy to carry and addressing one of the main barriers to helmet use.
The company has already secured £375,000 toward its £1m+ target, demonstrating strong investor confidence and momentum for the campaign. This comes after a successful Kickstarter campaign that reached its target in under three hours and closed at 720% funded.
The Republic Europe raise is the next step in scaling the company commercially and making safe, portable helmets more widely available. A full global launch is planned for Q1 2026.
The market potential for the Woolf Helmet is significant, with the global helmet market projected to reach $7.47 billion by 2030. This is driven by the rapid growth of micromobility and the expansion of compulsory helmet laws, with 28 countries currently enforcing some form of mandatory helmet legislation.
The helmet will retail for £219 and is available for pre-order at www.woolfhelmets.com. It meets both CPSC (US) and CE EN1078 (most of the world outside the US) safety standards and is supported by a robust IP portfolio.
Founder and CEO Jeff Woolf OBE, a British inventor recognised internationally for his inventions and awarded an OBE for services to innovation and business, says: “Helmets haven’t changed in decades, but the way we travel has. The Woolf Helmet has been designed for today’s riders: foldable, smart, and created with safety, simplicity, and portability in mind. The only helmet worth having is the one you carry with you, and that’s what we’ve built.”
