From Fire Nozzles to AI Fuel: How HEN Technologies Is Building a Data Empire on the Frontlines of Climate Disasters

Sunny Sethi doesn’t look like a disruptor—until you realize his fire nozzles could revolutionize how we fight wildfires in an age of climate chaos.

Hen Technologies’ fire nozzles extinguish fires three times faster while using two-thirds less water. The system combines 23 custom circuit board designs with Nvidia Orion Nano processors to create smart hardware. Its platform tracks water usage, hydrant status, and weather data for predictive analytics.

Quote: 'She was really mad at me... you need to fix this, otherwise you’re not a real scientist.'

'The hardest part... is that this market is tough because it’s a B2C play when you think of convincing the customers to buy, but the procurement cycle is B2B.'

Hen’s revenue has grown from $200K in 2023 to a projected $20M in 2026. Customers include the U.S. military, NASA, Abu Dhabi Civil Defense, and 1,500 fire departments. The company has raised over $30M, including a $20M Series A led by O’Neil Strategic Capital.

Its system generates real-world physics data for AI world models and predictive physics engines. Competitors like First Due raised $355M in 2023, but Hen’s hardware-software integration creates a unique data feedback loop where physical firefighting becomes digital training fuel for AI models.
