Nextech3D.AI (CSE:NTAR, OTCQX:NEXCF) earlier this week told investors it is seeing record-breaking momentum across its business units, as it pushes ahead on multiple strategic initiatives in event technology, artificial intelligence, and blockchain.
CEO Evan Gappelberg talked with Proactive about the company’s record-setting growth and upcoming innovations across its technology divisions.
Proactive: The company released news today about hitting record growth. With all the changes made over the past six months to a year, is this what you’ve been waiting for, to show the transformation is really taking effect?
Evan Gappelberg: Absolutely. Nextech is really experiencing accelerating momentum across all of our business units. We’re ahead of schedule on multiple strategic initiatives, like AI event tech integration, blockchain ticketing, and the trajectory going into year-end 2025 is extremely positive. We see the momentum carrying us through 2026. In October, we reported 20% sequential growth.
November is tracking to be a record-setting month in both revenue and new customer acquisition. Our event tech division is outperforming expectations. The pipeline going into December and Q1 2026 is at record levels. We’ve also produced 800 interactive floor plans in 2025, which is a strong validation of the demand in the event tech space.
As you roll out more in 2026, do those create opportunities for revenue beyond the initial booking?
Yes. About 95% of those 800 floor plans were from Map Dynamics customers, where the average order value is around $2,500. We’re now expanding those to between $15,000 and $50,000. We’ve signed a couple of renewal deals already. There’s one for $30,000 and another for $15,000, both are from Map Dynamics clients. That’s really core to our growth strategy.
Hunting new customers is important, but upselling existing ones — “hunting in the zoo” — is faster and more efficient.
Another key driver is our AI matchmaking. It’s moved from a “nice-to-have” to a “must-have” product. There’s strong traction, even from government agencies, not just for events but for internal use to match employees with resources. AI is high-ticket and margin-rich. We’re still early in this AI matchmaking cycle.
And the ticketing aspect? You’re working with blockchain there.
Yes, two key things. First, blockchain ticketing rollout is ahead of schedule. Second, we’re expanding enterprise contracts in our 3D modeling business. That’s taken a backseat due to event tech growth, but it’s still going strong.
We’re finalizing a three-year deal worth about $150,000. It’s recurring and from a customer we’ve worked with for three years. This time, we’ll get all three years’ payments upfront at a slight discount. It’s sticky revenue with high profitability due to minimal incremental cost.
As for blockchain ticketing, we’re rolling it out on Ethereum, with MetaMask and Coinbase integration complete. The system supports tokenized event rewards, secondary market revenue sharing, and fraud prevention. It’s a massive opportunity not just for us, but for the whole event industry. Other platforms could license it from us as well.
