Brinc Raises $125 Million to Expand 911 Response Drone Program

Jul 15, 2026
Brinc has raised $125 million in a funding round led by Motorola Solutions, with participation from Index Ventures and Figma CEO Dylan Field. The funding will support expanded manufacturing, product development, and deployment of 911 response drones across U.S. police and fire stations.

Brinc has raised $125 million in funding announced in a press release, led by Motorola Solutions with participation from Index Ventures and Figma CEO Dylan Field. The investment brings Brinc's total capital raised to more than $250 million.

The company said the new capital will be used to expand its domestic manufacturing operations, introduce additional products, and scale its sales and distribution. Brinc plans to move into a facility three times larger than its current one to increase production capacity as demand from public safety agencies continues to grow.

Brinc develops drones for public safety applications, including indoor and emergency response models such as the Lemur 2, Responder, and Guardian. The company stated that its goal is to deploy 911 response drones at all 80,000 police and fire stations across the United States.

Public safety agencies including the Los Angeles Fire Department and St. Louis Police Department currently use Brinc's drones. The company reported that it tripled revenue in 2025 and has signed nearly four times as many 911 response drone contracts this year compared to the same period last year.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
