Nextech3D.ai: Amazon AI- Powered Preferred 3D model Supplier

Nextech3D.ai (OTCQX: NEXCF / CSE:NTAR) is a diversified AR company, leveraging proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) to create 3D experiences for the $5.5 trillion ecommerce ecosystem led by Amazon.

Nextech was founded in January 2018, by Evan Gappelberg while envisioning AR to be a mega-trend. In order to see if he was right, he raised $3 million. With the funds and big plans, the company went public in 2018. Realizing he was early, Gappelberg pivoted and purchased a few ecommerce sites and a virtual event (VE) platform which grew exponentially along with the company’s stock price and market cap topping out at $700 million. When the 3D model business finally caught up to Nextech’s technology in 2022, Gappelberg divested the company of its legacy ecommerce and VE business and doubled down on AR/3D/AI to transition Nextech into the pure play technology company which was why he originally founded the company. Presently, the company is focused on both delivering 3D models to Amazon and developing or acquiring what it believes are disruptive technologies, commercializing and spinning them out as stand-alone companies that issue stock dividend to shareholders, while retaining a significant ownership stake in the public spin-out.

Perspective towards Innovation

Nextech3D.ai pushes towards innovation, using emerging technology to its advantage to reach underserved, emerging markets, while increasing its market share in the respective industries it serves. It currently has four companies under its belt: Nextech 3D.ai, ARway.ai, Toggle3D.ai and Nextech Event Solutions.

Nextech3D.ai started out as a tech company, providing augmented reality and 3D models for ecommerce solutions but was forced to pivot away from its mission to survive during the pandemic and then pivoted back again when the market was ready for its 3D technology. As part of this pivot the company acquired Threedy.ai (now known as ARitize3D) to increase their 3D creation model technology and focus on becoming a premier supplier of 3D models for Amazon and the ecommerce world. The company’s revolutionary generative AI technology creates 3D models, at scale with the highest quality. Its value prop recently spiked as it became the preferred supplier for Amazon.

Nextech3D.ai owns or operates the following companies:

Arway.ai

The ARway(OTC: ARWYF/ CSE: ARWY) platform is AI-powered, providing AR experiences and navigation, indoors.
