This Company Gets $75 Million Boost to Reach Emergencies Before Humans Do

“911, what’s your emergency?” In critical moments when first responders face delays, help might arrive from above, buzzing through the sky. That sound often comes from a high-tech drone built by Brinc Drones, a U.S.-based company using AI-powered drones to reach danger zones faster, assess situations in real time, and even communicate with people in need before human help arrives.

Founded in response to the tragic 2017 Las Vegas shooting, the startup is committed to deploying drones and other technologies that benefit the community and help save lives. Leveraging technology to de-escalate dangerous situations, their mission is to revolutionize public safety. By deploying drones to dangerous situations, they reduce the number of individuals in harm's way, potentially saving lives.

Kid Genius to Drone CEO

Blake Resnick, a young founder driven by a lifelong passion for science and technology, embarked on a mission to change the world with his innovation at the age of 21. His journey began at a young age, taking apart and rebuilding household appliances, and culminated in the construction of a fusion reactor in his garage at the age of 14.

Recently, his brainchild secured $75 million in funding. Index Ventures led the financing, continuing their support of BRINC after participating in two previous funding rounds. Motorola Solutions also invested, forming a strategic alliance with BRINC. Additional backers included Mike Volpi and Figma's CEO and founder, Dylan Field.
