O que Vanhawks faz

Vanhawks is both a hardware and software company with a goal of changing up the urban commute. Technology impacts our lives in countless ways - you’re connected, why shouldn’t your bike be? Our product is the Valour, a connected, carbon fibre, commuter bicycle with built in GPS, blind-spot sensors, integrated front and back lights, and more. The Valour will radically change the way you ride. Built upon safety first in mind, a turn by turn navigation is incorporated in the handle bar to keep your eyes on the road. A LED indicator lets you know when you are approaching your next turn, and you're alerted of any object in your blind spot. To further enhance your cycling experience, the application tracks your riding history including calories burned, distance traveled, and much more, to serve you better. The data it acquires is used to provide you with suggestions on which route will get you to your destination safest and fastest or help you burn the most calories.

Smart carbon fibre commuter bike with IoT features

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building the Valour, a connected commuter bike made from carbon fibre with built-in GPS, blind-spot sensors, and integrated front and back lights. It has turn-by-turn navigation on the handlebar with LED indicators for safe riding without losing focus on the road. Our app tracks ride data like calories and distance and suggests safer or faster routes based on that data.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Toronto, ON, Canada, and after YC the company would remain based there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Toronto has a growing tech and design community, and it's where our team and manufacturing connections are. We want to build here rather than move to Silicon Valley because this is where our expertise and resources are.
