Damon is a disruptive Technology start-up based in Vancouver, Canada focused on the forgotten category of 1.5 billion Vulnerable Road Users.
Our mission is to cause a paradigm shift for safer, smarter motorcycling.
Starting with a completely blank slate, we reverse engineered the problems motorcyclists face and built what 160 million annual buyers want and need: a game changing riding experience that’s exponentially safer, smarter and more user-friendly. With it Damon will redefine the industry.
We put data-driven thinking at the epicentre of the company, employing radical innovations in sensor fusion, robotics and AI. Damon expands the reach of your senses in 360Âş to protect you from accidents, providing that one extra second you need to react. These same sensors collect rider, traffic and vehicle data and sends it to our cloud for industry-wide data consumption. Our system learns from every rider, every intersection and every situation. The goal is a self-learning technology platform that will usher in a world with no fatal accidents on Damonized vehicles by 2030.

I am Kevin Horek, a Chief Design Officer, UX/UI prototyper, TV/Radio Host, and a published author by Packt Publishing on Zurb's responsive framework, Foundation 5. I studied web development and design at universities across North America, including UCLA and the University of Alberta. My Radio/TV/Podcast, Building The Future, was started to get over my fear of public speaking. I continue to push myself out of my comfort zone by blogging for AlphaGamma, TechZulu, and SOCAP. I also recently emceed SUP-X - The Start-Up Expo and had a live fireside chat on stage with the keynote speaker.
For over 26 years, I have been working on web and mobile apps for some of the world’s most notable and well-respected organizations. Among them are BMW, Best Buy, Apple, Adobe, Sprint, Eastlink, TD Canada Trust, Qantas Airlines, Emirates Airlines, CB Richard Ellis, Microsoft, The Home Depot, California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Singapore University of Technology, and Design, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Monsanto, Cargill, Sage Therapeutics, Goshen Health, PepsiCo, The United States Defense Threat Reduction Agency, The Annie E. Casey Foundation, The Air Force Civil Engineering Center, Abu Dhabi Health Services, Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture, and Janssen: Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, Cushman & Wakefield and Colliers International.
My design and development projects have won critical acclaim and were featured by media outlets like USA Today, Bloomberg, Fortune, Apple Insider & Hit Parader magazine.
I continue to champion superior user experiences and maintain a relentless focus on achieving my goals in all of my ventures. I have been a contributor to the open-source community on FOLIO, and I co-host a monthly tech meetup in my hometown of Edmonton called Nerds Night Out.
Experience.
