BRINC Secures $75 Million, Forms Strategic Alliance with Motorola Solutions to Scale Production and Use of 911 Response Drones

BRINC  announced today that it has raised $75 million in new funding. This capital will be used to accelerate the development and production of BRINC’s lifesaving drone technology.

The financing was led by Index Ventures, marking their continued conviction in BRINC following their participation in the company’s prior two funding rounds. Motorola Solutions also joined as an investor to form a strategic alliance with BRINC. Additional backers included Mike Volpi and Figma’s CEO and founder, Dylan Field.

This new funding will enable BRINC to scale production to meet increasing demand from public safety agencies, advance R&D for next-generation drone technology, and expand its workforce to support continued growth and innovation.

The alliance between BRINC and Motorola Solutions ushers in a new era of automated emergency response, integrating BRINC drones and Motorola Solutions’ APX radios, VESTA 911 emergency call management software, Computer-Aided Dispatch systems, Real-Time Crime Center Software (CommandCentral Aware), and Automatic License Plate Recognition technology.

Now, with these integrations, BRINC drones can deploy at the press of a button on a radio, respond to new sensor alerts, and provide real-time aerial intelligence directly into Motorola Solutions’ public safety solutions.

With hundreds of police, fire, and emergency response agencies already relying on BRINC drones, this alliance will help accelerate tactical de-escalation, enhance situational awareness, and transform crisis response.

“Our investment in BRINC represents a deep belief in their transformative vision,” said Vlad Loktev, Partner at Index Ventures. “The company’s technology has redefined how public safety agencies handle critical incidents. We’re thrilled to continue supporting BRINC’s mission to protect human life with public safety technology.”

“We will continue building world-class emergency response drones and scale our team to meet the growing demand for our life-saving technologies,” said Blake Resnick, Founder and CEO of BRINC. “We couldn’t be more excited for the future.”
