In a recent long form video interview with AGORACOM (see link at the end of this article), Nextech3D.AI Corporation CEO Evan Gappelberg walked investors through one of the most significant transformations in the company’s history—a journey from a challenging operating period to cash flow positive operations, while building a customer base that includes global organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Oracle and Netflix.
For small-cap AI companies, the path to profitability is often difficult. Nextech3D.AI has now reached cash flow positive operations, alongside reporting strong gross margins, revenue growth, and a unified event platform serving more than 1,000 customers worldwide.

From Survival Mode to Cash Flow Positive
The transformation didn’t happen overnight. Two years ago, Nextech3D.AI was navigating a challenging environment as a public company.
“We got very, very disciplined, and very, very focused on AI, and we made it through the storm,” Gappelberg explained.
The company announced it is cash flow positive, with full implementation of cost savings measures expected by May 1st. Achieving cash flow positivity marks a significant milestone, particularly in the AI sector where many companies continue to operate at a loss.
The company has indicated that these operational changes are expected to result in approximately $400,000 in annualized cost savings.
“This isn’t about survival anymore,” Gappelberg said. “This is about being cash flow positive, taking control of our business, and really controlling our destiny.”
The AI-Driven Productivity Shift
Productivity gains at Nextech3D.AI highlight the company’s focus on AI-enabled efficiency. Gappelberg noted that advances in AI tools have significantly improved how work is completed internally, reducing timelines for certain tasks.
“Every week or two, Microsoft updates Office 365 with new AI functionality,” he explained. “The learning curve is steep, but the key to AI is the prompt.”
These operational improvements are reflected in recent performance. The company has reported strong gross margins and year-over-year revenue growth in recent periods, which management attributes in part to improved efficiency.
A Customer Base That Validates the Business Model
Nextech3D.AI’s unified event platform serves a global customer base, including large enterprise organizations. The company’s platform integrates registration, ticketing, engagement tools, and analytics into a single system.
“It’s not easy to land them,” Gappelberg emphasized. “You have to get through their legal department… that’s hard work.”
The company has also reported 50 new customer contracts in early 2026, reflecting continued demand for its platform.
The Upsell Strategy: Expanding Within Existing Customers
Gappelberg described the company’s growth strategy as expanding its relationship with existing customers by offering additional services across its platform.
“They’re already buying,” he explained. “It’s not like we’re asking them to buy something they don’t buy.”
Many enterprise customers currently use the company for specific services, creating opportunities to expand into additional areas over time.
CEO Puts His Money Where His Mouth Is
Gappelberg has also increased his personal ownership in the company, purchasing 500,000 shares in the open market. According to company disclosures, this brings his total ownership to more than 30 million shares.
Blockchain Ticketing: Production-Ready
Nextech3D.AI’s blockchain ticketing infrastructure, including fiat checkout and a custodial wallet, is now production-ready.
“If you went to a blockchain ticketing event, you wouldn’t know,” Gappelberg explained. “You pay with your credit card… we accept fiat currencies.”
The company says this capability is designed to support enterprise and partner integrations while simplifying the user experience.
The 3D Modeling Segment
While the interview focused primarily on the event platform, Gappelberg noted that the company’s 3D modeling business continues to generate opportunities.
“Every year… we get a large opportunity that shows up,” he said.
The company continues to engage in discussions with potential customers for larger-scale projects.
The Road Ahead: From Cash Flow Positive to Growth
For Gappelberg, achieving cash flow positive operations represents a starting point.
“Going cash flow positive is not the finish line. It’s the starting line,” he said.
The company is now focused on scaling its business, supported by its unified platform, growing customer base, and AI-driven operational model.
Investor Takeaway
Nextech3D.AI now presents a different profile within the small-cap AI space: a company with a global customer base, strong recent margins, and cash flow positive operations.
The opportunity lies in expanding within its existing customer base while continuing to add new customers.
As the company moves forward, the key focus shifts from stabilization to execution—demonstrating the ability to grow while maintaining financial discipline.
