BRINC emerged from a critical need identified during the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting at Mandalay Bay resort, where first responders took over an hour to locate the shooter. This event inspired CEO Blake Resnick to develop technology that could save precious time during emergency responses.

After three years of extensive field research with first responders, BRINC developed two groundbreaking public safety products: the Lemur S drone and the BRINC Ball. These two-way communication devices are designed to de-escalate dangerous situations and assist people in need, having been successfully tested in various scenarios including collapsed buildings and hostage negotiations.

The company's engineering team, led by Director Colin Bell, utilizes advanced technologies including:

  • Mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD)
  • Printed circuit board (PCB) modeling tools
  • Real-time physics modeling for autonomous drones

What sets BRINC apart is their integrated approach to product development. The company maintains close collaboration between engineering, sales, marketing, design, and finance teams, enabling rapid product development and immediate customer feedback implementation.

Based in Seattle, BRINC has assembled a team of over 100 professionals, including engineers, builders, technologists, and public safety specialists. Their unique workplace culture emphasizes direct communication between teams and quick decision-making processes, allowing them to develop and deploy life-saving technologies more efficiently than traditional companies in the space.

The company's success in recruiting top talent from major tech companies has been driven by their compelling mission: developing technology that saves lives. This purpose-driven approach, combined with their state-of-the-art facility in Seattle, has enabled BRINC to establish itself as a leader in public safety technology innovation.
