Evan’s LinkedIn page states:

I founded Nextech in January 2018, with a back of the napkin idea that AR / 3D was Going be a Mega-trend and then raised $3 mill to see if I was right. We went public in October 2018 with big plans – In 2019 reality hit when both Apple & Google took me to the side and explained that sadly I was a bit early to the AR party🙃… so we hard pivoted and purchased a few ecommerce sites and a virtual event platform in 2019/2020. Timing is EVERYTHING!!😁…2020 turned out to be a 1 in 100 year storm ☔️ in which our ecommerce + virtual events business grew exponentially along with our stock price growing 40X with our market cap topping out at $700 million!…But we always kept our eye on the prize!!… In August of 2021, we placed our largest bet on AI by acquiring AI startup Threedy.ai for $10 million.

Fast forward to summer of 2022, with AI becoming our secret sauce and a clear path to 3D profits and scale, we divested ourselves of the legacy ecommerce business and doubled down on AI…sensing something magical about AI – we went all in!!

Timing is EVERYTHING! … in 2024 we are the future of ecommerce- leveraging our AI-powered software to scale the production of 3D models for ecommerce …today we are a war hardened, battle tested amazing team… purpose built for what we’re currently pursuing-GREATNESS😀!!

We operate 3- bleeding 🩸 edge technology companies that are publicly traded focused on; AI, 3D and Spatial computing.

After 5 years & 10 acquisitions we have not only acquired pivotal tech but also talented like minded people. Through these acquisitions we have incubated, invested and commercialized exciting new technologies. Our success formula; build a dream team around the technology & create pure play transformative technology companies which we operate or we spin – out as a pubco to shareholders while retaining a control block.

Our portfolio of technology companies:

1. Nextech3D.ai is the engine driving the 2D-3D ecommerce revolution with a $100 billion TAM. ( NEXCF/ NTAR)

2. ARWY is disrupting the indoor AR navigation market with a $44 billion TAM.

3. Toggle3D.ai is disrupting the CAD-3D market with a point and click all-in-one 3D design studio with a $160billion TAM. ( CSE: TGGL/ OTC: TGGL)

While the dream began in 2018, persévérance, luck & good timing have perpetuated my dream for launching companies with disruptive technologies like AI, AR & 3D… stay tuned for more!!
