Brinc accepted 12 startups in 2020 to join its Fall 2020 Hardware & IoT, Food Technology, and Logistics Accelerator Programs. This is a delayed post as we’ve been busy working with the teams.
As always, Brinc is excited to help these game-changer founders solve some of the world’s biggest problems through their technology solutions. Brinc is looking forward to being able to support a new batch of startups in the areas where we are most passionate about and believe will drive the most sustainable impact to the planet, while delivering against our thesis of driving profit with purpose.
Here’s a quick rundown of the startups who have joined the Brinc family:
