The Blinc Group is a New York City–headquartered designer and provider of premium, customized and bespoke vaporizer technologies and hardware. The company offers a “Powered By Blinc” certified manufacturing process with China-based production that provides full quality control and traceability across the supply chain. Blinc complements hardware with R&D, testing, standard operating procedures, training, and go-to-market and brand consulting for multi-state operators and licensed producers. The company played an advisory role during the 2019 vape crisis and worked with regulators and Colorado’s Science & Policy Committee on new testing standards. In 2020 Blinc more than tripled its orders, posting over 330% year-over-year growth and its best quarter amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Clients include Canadian customers that require Health Canada–level standards, a capability the company cites as differentiating. The Blinc Group is a distribution-centric incubator focused on launching and scaling vapor and cannabis products. It delivers full-cycle support to startups through tailored branding, marketing, sales and engagement programs rooted in data and proprietary research. The group leverages collective expertise and its network to position member companies as thought leaders in their industry segments. It develops foundations for scaling through the largest distribution channels across the American, European and Asian markets. Led by Chief Strategy Officer Arnaud Dumas de Rauly, the company aims to build quality brands that reshape retailers, dispensaries, head shops and vape shops globally. The Blinc Group recently closed its first financing round and plans to deploy the funds into day-to-day operations including operations, marketing, business development and lobbying.
