BRINC

BRINC creates technology for first responders. Their equipment helps de-escalate dangerous situations, including two primary offerings in the field: a drone for extreme environments and a public-safety communications device.

The former is the LEMUR 2, a first-response drone used for everything from hazmat responses to bomb disposal operations to hostage rescue. The LEMUR 2 is equipped with LiDAR, floodlights, night vision, and a thermal sensor that allow the drone to “see." They also offers the BRINC Ball, a “throw phone” with a microphone and speaker that first responders can toss or throw into an at-risk environment to establish and maintain contact for peaceful resolutions.

BRINC’s hybrid as-a-service model allows it to sell its hardware outright under a capex model, and then charge a monthly subscription fee for data and proprietary software. The BRINC ball is available for purchase for $2,000; plus $49/month for the Ball Protection and Data Plan. The LEMUR 2 costs $10–20k, and software subscription rates are not published. The company also offers a series of add-on services, such as hardware replacement and training programs.
