Dr. Richard Beranek has a Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace Engineering and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, both from Carleton University. In 2012, he co-founded GaitTronics to commercialize SoloWalk, a robotic walker used in early mobilization rehabilitation. He would go on to form Brash Inc. in 2017, leading the product design and development of new devices, consumer electronics, robotics, software, and IoT products.

Brash Inc. is in the business of collectively finding creative solutions to interesting problems. Whether it's starting the next big idea or revamping an existing one, they partner with clients to deliver customized solutions from the initial scribble all the way to market (and anywhere in between). Their team of innovators include designers, engineers, software developers, data scientists, and researchers that are not only technical experts in their respective fields, but also well-versed in the startup journey and the various stages of product development. Alongside with you, they dig into developing products that fuse design and engineering to create intuitive customer experiences.
