HEN Nozzles Secures $8M in Funding to Revolutionize Fire Suppression Technology
HEN Nozzles, a leader in firefighting innovation, announced it has secured $8 million in seed funding to accelerate its fluidics technology which extinguishes fires 300% faster while using 67% less water. With wildfires and structure fires intensifying globally and firefighting technology stagnating for decades, this funding will drive the development and deployment of the company’s groundbreaking fire suppression solutions.
The company’s patented adjustable smoothbore nozzle allows firefighters to dynamically modulate the water stream to adapt to different fire conditions. This innovation not only ensures faster fire suppression but also minimizes water usage, helping fire departments conserve resources while improving safety. By lowering water waste and decreasing property damage, HEN’s technology offers an effective and sustainable solution for both firefighting teams and the environment.
Following funding from a National Science Foundation SBIR Federal Grant received at the company’s inception, this seed round has been supported by several venture capital and strategic angel investors including O’Neil Capital Partners, Cthulhu Ventures, Z21 Ventures, TiE Silicon Valley Angels, Sacramento Angels, and Shasta Angels.
