Seattle-based American public safety drone developer Brinc Drones has announced a $125million financing round led by Motorola Solutions, which the manufacturer says will fuel the company's mission to deploy 911 response drones at the 80,000 police and fire stations across the United States.
Aside from Motorola, there was also participation in this funding round from Index Ventures and Dylan Field, Figma's CEO and founder, which brings Brinc's total capital raised to well over a $250million.
The company says it will invest its new capital into the expansion of domestic manufacturing capability, bring new products to market, and scale go-to-market operations.
Brinc’s drones and devices are used by police, fire, and other emergency responders to reach 911 calls before officers arrive, deliver medical supplies, and assist in hostage negotiations. Founded in 2019 by CEO Blake Resnick, now 26, Brinc moved from Las Vegas to Seattle in 2021
By the end of the year, Brinc will move into a new facility three times the size of its current factory, it says, expanding its production capacity to meet surging demand from public safety agencies.
"Every second matters in an emergency," said Resnick.
"Our 911 response drones put eyes on scene before first responders arrive, giving everyone the situational awareness they need to act decisively and keep people safe. This investment enables our organization to build more products, expand our manufacturing capacity, and put a drone on the roof of every police and fire station in America."
The round comes at a moment where Brinc claims it has more than tripled revenue in 2025 and quintupled monthly production capacity.
This year, the company says it has signed nearly four times as many 911 response drone contracts as it did over the same period in 2025, with agencies including the Los Angeles Fire Department, St. Louis Police Department, and hundreds of others across the country.
Brinc is the developer of the Lemur 2 first response drone, which can be deployed indoors for tactical missions.
Added to that, “Responder leads the market in time on scene,” the company said.
“Guardian is the 911 response drone built to replace helicopters. And because BRINC has exclusive integrations with Motorola Solutions, and interoperability with other public safety technology providers, every product in the fleet is just a button-press away.”
The company also integrates with Motorola’s public safety radios, 911 call systems, and dispatch software. An officer can launch a Brinc drone by pressing a button on a Motorola radio, or have one dispatched automatically when a 911 call comes in.
