Nextech3D.ai expands KraftyLab to 35 U.S. cities, adds 58 new in-person experiences
from Proactive - Interviews for investors · host Proactive Investors
Nextech3D.ai CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share details on the company’s continued national expansion, announcing that KraftyLab has successfully scaled its in-person footprint to 35 major metropolitan hubs across the United States, up from 20 previously. The expansion represents a substantial increase in Nextech3D.ai’s physical service capacity as it works to support a growing roster of Fortune 500 and enterprise clients seeking high-quality, scalable in-person and hybrid experiences. Gappelberg explained that, alongside the geographic expansion, the company has officially onboarded 58 new premium offerings to its unified experience platform. These additions are designed to address the evolving needs of decentralized enterprise teams heading into the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The new experiences span multiple categories, including Wellness and High-Energy Fitness programs, Professional Development sessions, and Connoisseur and Culinary-focused suites, broadening the appeal of KraftyLab’s portfolio across diverse corporate use cases. The national rollout is being supported by Nextech3D.ai’s newly developing artificial intelligence architecture, which integrates OpenAI’s large language models with the Pinecone vector database. This “semantic memory” framework enables the company’s platforms to deliver context-aware, autonomous assistance by understanding intent, history, and preferences across client interactions. By leveraging Pinecone’s high-performance vector storage, Nextech3D.ai’s AI concierge can now manage and execute complex event logistics using natural language processing across its event ecosystem. Gappelberg noted that the expansion to 35 cities and the launch of 58 new experiences are closely aligned with the company’s strategy to achieve high-margin, asset-light scalability. By maintaining a software-first model and increasingly automating event coordination and logistics through AI, Nextech3D.ai is targeting a 90% gross margin profile for its 2026 fiscal year, although the company cautioned that there is no assurance this objective will be achieved. #nextech3d.al #otcqx #nexcf #cse #ntar #EvanGappelberg #ARway #AugmentedReality #SpatialMapping #IndoorNavigation #EventTech #TradeShowSolutions #TechStocks #ARRevenueGrowth #3DTechnology #ProactiveInvestors #aws #amazonwebservice #tickets #kraftylab #AIPlatforms #EnterpriseEvents #HybridEvents #ExperientialMarketing #Fortune500 #NationalExpansion #EventTech #AIConcierge #OpenAI #Pinecone #SemanticMemory #DigitalTransformation #HighMarginModel #AssetLight
