HEN Nozzles, a Hayward, CA-based company which specializes in firefighting innovation, raised $8M in funding.
Backers included O’Neil Capital Partners, Cthulhu Ventures, Z21 Ventures, TiE Silicon Valley Angels, Sacramento Angels, and Shasta Angels.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate the development of its fluidics technology.
Led by CEO Sunny Sethi, HEN leverages science to equip firefighters with advanced tools. Supported by funding from federal SBIR grants and venture capital investors, its patented technology is inspired by principles of fluid dynamics and thermal science, and its nozzles allow firefighters to rapidly adapt water streams for faster fire suppression and reduced water usage, whether combating structure fires or wildland blazes.
With organizations such as CALFIRE, US Marine Corps, Kansas City FD, Ontario FD, Maui FD and Sacramento FD already using HEN Nozzles, the company plans to expand its technology to an additional 1,000 departments in 2025.
