BRCĒ (pronounced 'brace') is a material-tech company pioneering the world's first yarn-level mechanically-programmable polymer composites using two core technologies: Lattice Grip Technology and a proprietary Composite Architecture. Their platform enables the creation of high-performance, multi-functional textiles that outperform legacy materials like Kevlar and Gore-Tex across athletic, tactical, industrial, and medical applications — at significantly lower cost and with faster time to market. Founded by patented inventors and athletes, BRCĒ launched with a DTC product (shoelaces with Lattice Grip Technology) validated by NFL Physicians Society and is now scaling into B2B OEM supply and IP licensing across industries. The company holds 1 granted utility patent (7+ countries) with 4 pending, has 12+ signed MOUs, 3 OEM deals, and a $27M+ sales pipeline projected by 2029.
Materials innovation has stagnated for decades, resulting in 56M+ athletic injuries, 30M+ medical material incidents, and 270M+ inadequate safety material incidents annually — costing an estimated $18.6B per year globally. Advanced materials that exist are inaccessible, expensive, single-purpose, and hard to scale.
BRCĒ's polymer composite platform combines Lattice Grip Technology (extrusion at 1/5000th of an inch) with a programmable Composite Architecture to create yarn-level multi-functional composites that are lighter, stronger, fire-resistant, weather-resistant, and abrasion-resistant — at costs of $7.20/unit vs. $23–$30+ for legacy alternatives. The platform is scalable, customizable, and applicable across athletic, tactical, medical, and industrial markets.
BRCĒ generated $93K in revenue bootstrapped in 7 months, $560K in first full calendar year (2025), with $520K in 2026 YTD revenue and $2.7M projected for full-year 2026. The company has 12+ signed MOUs, 3 OEM deals, retail presence in 2,400+ locations, presence in every major sports league, 94% net margin on DTC, 92% net margin on OEM textiles, and a $27M+ active sales pipeline by 2029. The pre-seed round was oversubscribed at $1.9M raised vs. $500K goal. Named Top 5 Invention of 2025 out of 450,000 filed patents. Partnerships in pipeline with Dow, DeWalt, and 3M.
