This led to the idea of a safety cam\u00adera for cyclists that only saves video mate\u00adr\u00adial in dan\u00adger\u00adous sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtions, espe\u00adcially once the legally required dis\u00adtance of pass\u00ading cars has been breached and the risk of an acci\u00addent is estab\u00adlished. Com\u00adpared to dash\u00adcams for cars, the rear-mounted bicy\u00adcle cam\u00adera must meet addi\u00adtional require\u00adments in order to pro\u00adduce accepted evi\u00addence for legal pro\u00adceed\u00adings. The mechan\u00adics and func\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adity of the \u201eDash\u00adbike\u201c cam\u00adera are unique, and a patent appli\u00adca\u00adtion has been filed in addi\u00adtion to trade\u00admarks.

In Decem\u00adber 2019, the pre-seed financ\u00ading round for fur\u00adther devel\u00adop\u00adment and sales prepa\u00adra\u00adtion was signed and closed. The newly founded com\u00adpany thus reached a major mile\u00adstone of its busi\u00adness plan. The exper\u00adtise and net\u00adwork that bm|t con\u00adtributes as a new share\u00adholder to the com\u00adpany will add great value to the com\u00adpany. The fund\u00ading serves to estab\u00adlish a legal basis for mar\u00adket\u00ading and pro\u00adtect\u00ading the prod\u00aduct and clears the way for future invest\u00adments. \u00abWe are very happy to have received the planned invest\u00adment from our pre\u00adferred investor,\u00bb stated San\u00addro Beck and Lelia Koenig, Dashfactory\u00b4s founders. Impor\u00adtantly, the fresh cap\u00adi\u00adtal also enables another big step towards ser\u00adial pro\u00adduc\u00adtion. The first part of the prod\u00aduct line is the secu\u00adrity cam\u00adera for cyclists, the \u201cDash\u00adbike\u201d.

Thus, per\u00adilous loca\u00adtions in cities can be iden\u00adti\u00adfied and spe\u00adcific rec\u00adom\u00admen\u00adda\u00adtions for action can be derived. By using \u201cDash\u00adbike\u201d, cyclists them\u00adselves can actively con\u00adtribute to the improve\u00adment of the cycling infra\u00adstruc\u00adture in their city as well as fos\u00adter a traf\u00adfic tran\u00adsi\u00adtion towards more sus\u00adtain\u00adable mobil\u00adity.
