BRINC, building technology in the service of public safety, led by Blake Resnick and the team, has announced a $125 million financing round led by Motorola Solutions, with participation from Index Ventures and Dylan Field, Figma’s CEO and founder.
The investment brings BRINC’s total funding to more than $250 million, supporting the company’s mission to deploy emergency response drones across 80,000 police and fire stations in the United States.
The funding will support BRINC’s expansion of domestic manufacturing, product development, and go-to-market operations. The company plans to move into a new facility three times larger than its current factory by year-end, increasing production capacity to meet growing demand from public safety agencies.
“Every second matters in an emergency,” said Blake Resnick, Founder and CEO of BRINC. “Our 911 response drones provide critical situational awareness before first responders arrive, helping teams make faster, more informed decisions. This investment will allow us to expand manufacturing, develop new products, and accelerate our goal of deploying drones across police and fire stations nationwide.”
The round comes amid strong commercial momentum for BRINC. The company more than tripled revenue in 2025 and increased monthly production capacity fivefold. In 2026, BRINC has already signed nearly four times as many 911 response drone contracts compared to the same period last year, with deployments across agencies including the Los Angeles Fire Department, St. Louis Police Department, and hundreds of others nationwide.
BRINC develops drones designed for a range of public safety missions. Its fleet includes Lemur 2, an advanced indoor drone; Responder, built for rapid response; and Guardian, a 911 response drone designed to reduce reliance on helicopters. Through integrations with Motorola Solutions and other public safety technology providers, BRINC enables seamless access to its drone fleet through existing operational systems.
