Immersive Tech Startup NFZ Joins FasterCapital’s LaunchUp Program to Scale Multi-Sensory Venue Experiences
NFZ, a United States-based experiential technology startup transforming how audiences engage with physical spaces, has joined FasterCapital’s LaunchUp program. The company is raising $750,000 to further develop and deploy its AI-powered sensory synchronization kiosks across high-traffic venues such as zoos, aquariums, malls, and museums.
By blending ultra-high-definition 360° visuals with synchronized sensory effects like heat, breeze, mist, scent, and vibration, NFZ creates deeply engaging and educational experiences tailored to a wide range of audiences. These immersive kiosks are designed to be self-contained, scalable, and cost-effective, helping venues replace static exhibits with dynamic, multilingual storytelling modules without the burden of upfront capital investment.
Hesham Zreik, CEO at FasterCapital, shared his excitement about the partnership:
"NFZ is reimagining how people experience educational and cultural content, and we believe their model addresses a clear gap in the market. Their approach combines accessibility with innovation, making it a compelling proposition for both venue partners and end-users."
He added, "We're thrilled to support Dustin and the NFZ team as they expand their reach and optimize both user engagement and operational efficiency through technology-driven storytelling."
Dustin Hemesath, Founder and CEO of NFZ, emphasized the value of joining the LaunchUp program: "Partnering with FasterCapital through LaunchUp gives us a major strategic advantage. Their expertise and resources will accelerate our growth and help us deploy at scale, reaching more venues and enhancing visitor experiences globally."
NFZ's solution is positioned to meet the growing demand for immersive, adaptable, and data-driven engagement in public and educational spaces. With a revenue-sharing model and a per-user pricing structure, the company enables venues to offer cutting-edge experiences without taking on financial risk aligning both educational impact and commercial viability.
