At Briink, we are building the AI company for sustainability teams.

We believe that AI is the key to unlocking the future of sustainable business. With over 40 enterprise clients—including some of the world's largest corporates, funds, and industry leaders—we’re already transforming how organizations manage their ESG data. Our technology helps sustainability teams uncover actionable insights from unstructured data sources, making it easier to drive compliance, efficiency, and impact at scale.

Backed by nearly €7 million in capital, including a freshly closed round, and supported by leading venture capital funds, Briink is at the forefront of ESG innovation. We’re based at the heart of Europe’s AI revolution—the AI Campus in Berlin—where we are building a future where ESG data empowers strategic leadership.

Even if your experience doesn’t align precisely with all the criteria, we encourage you to apply. Many people miss out on opportunities because they feel they don’t fit every requirement—we believe in growth, not perfection!
