Nextech3D.ai, an AI-first company specializing in 3D modeling and AI-powered event solutions, has announced that it signed a definitive agreement on December 4, 2025, to acquire Krafty Labs, a virtual and in-person enterprise event engagement platform. Krafty Labs serves several of the world’s most prominent companies—including Google, Netflix, Meta, Oracle, Microsoft, Cisco, Dropbox, and over 400 additional Fortune 500 and multinational organizations. Nextech3D.ai expects potential cross-selling opportunities for its live event software within these accounts, though the company acknowledges this may or may not materialize.
The agreement moves both companies into a formal due diligence and integration phase, with the closing projected for the first week of January 2026.
Krafty Labs has reported more than $1.1 million in year-to-date revenue with a strong 72% gross margin, driven by its global portfolio of virtual team-building events, leadership development programs, wellness sessions, training formats, and cross-cultural learning experiences. Recently, the company expanded into in-person enterprise events, adding a fast-growing opportunity to its already established virtual and hybrid offerings.
Definitive acquisition agreement signed
Total purchase price: ~$600,000 in cash
$325,000 payable at closing
$275,000 financed over 36 months at 7%
Closing expected by January 5, 2026, pending due diligence
With Krafty Labs joining Map Dynamics and Eventdex, Nextech3D.ai now supports more than 1,000 customers worldwide, positioning the organization as a comprehensive AI-driven event solutions provider.
New addition: Krafty Labs strengthens Nextech3D.ai with in-person event and hybrid deployment expertise.
This combined product ecosystem reduces vendor fragmentation and increases recurring revenue potential across enterprise clients.
400+ Fortune 500 relationships:
Krafty Labs brings a substantial roster of blue-chip customers, offering a powerful foundation for revenue expansion.
1,000+ global customers across three platforms:
The combination of Eventdex, Map D, and Krafty Labs gives Nextech3D.ai significant scale in the AI event technology market. This enables bundled offerings, multi-department adoption, and stronger network effects as enterprises consolidate solutions.
AI-driven margin expansion:
Integrating AI into event planning, scheduling, facilitation, and engagement delivery is expected to boost margins by reducing labor needs and increasing automation. Over time, more of the engagement becomes software-led, improving overall efficiency and customer lifetime value.
Deep cross-sell potential:
Krafty Labs works with HR and employee experience teams, while Eventdex and Map Dynamics serve event and marketing groups. Together, they offer multiple touchpoints inside the same enterprise, opening opportunities to cross-sell registration systems, mobile apps, AI matchmaking, learning programs, and end-to-end engagement suites.
Strong progression toward closing:
With the definitive agreement already in place and due diligence underway, Nextech3D.ai anticipates a smooth path to integration and synergy execution. The company sees 2026 as a transformative year marked by expanded customer reach, broader product capabilities, and accelerated AI-enabled growth.
Evan Gappelberg, CEO of Nextech3D.ai, shared:
"Event organizers want one partner who can help them sell more, operate faster, and secure the attendee experience. By adding Krafty Labs to Eventdex and Map D-we're moving even faster toward a truly one-stop event operating system."
He added:
"We believe Krafty Labs meaningfully accelerates our vision to build a global AI Event Solutions platform. With more than 1,000 customers worldwide — including leaders in technology, media, and enterprise — and with the addition of in-person events, we are positioned for scale, revenue growth, and strong momentum into 2026."
Due diligence has begun, and pending successful evaluation and standard approvals, the companies expect to finalize the acquisition in early January.
