Hey, we’re BRAINR.
Our mission is to build the intelligent brain for every food factory, with the only AI-powered factory management software for the food industry, bringing together machines, sensors, software, and people.
Profitable from day one, we’ve recently secured a record-breaking €11M Seed Round, the largest in Portugal’s history, to take our mission global. And we’re getting there, because today over 25% of all meat production in Portugal is already managed by BRAINR.
