Nextech3D.AI (CSE:NTAR, OTCQX:NEXCF, FRA:1SS) CEO Evan Gappelberg tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company has reported $874,000 in new customer contract value and 160 new customer contracts, with software gross margins of 92%. He describes these as proof points of a new phase of growth for the AI-powered event technology business. Gappelberg says average contract value is up 77% and that the company is increasingly signing three-year deals rather than one-year deals, providing greater revenue visibility. Enterprise customers including Microsoft, Meta, Google, Deloitte, and BNP Paribas are among those buying from the company's three platforms: Eventdex, MapD, and KraftyLabs. On KraftyLabs, Gappelberg says it is the most underappreciated platform Nextech currently owns, and that the company is building it into an AI-first corporate culture platform with an AI avatar layer set to launch in the coming weeks. Gappelberg also reveals that Nextech is imminently close to signing what he calls the biggest deal in the company's history, describing it as a multimillion-dollar contract he expects to close in August. He says this deal, combined with 92% gross margins, will significantly accelerate the path to profitability and cash flow.
