Company Summary

HEN Technologies is the first fully integrated platform for fire defense — engineered hardware, a proprietary data layer, and real-time AI command software, all in one company.

Founded in 2020 by Sunny Sethi, PhD, against the backdrop of California\’s worst wildfire decade on record, HEN exists because the fireground had been a black box for fifty years — and the technology fighting modern fires hadn\’t kept pace with the fires themselves.

We started with what physics could fix: nozzles, monitors, and pump controls re-engineered from the ground up. But every device we ship is also a sensor, generating ground-truth suppression telemetry no satellite, drone, or camera can replicate. That data trains FLUID-IQ, our AI platform. FLUID-IQ powers STAR-IQ — the real-time AI for incident command that replaces paper, radio, and intuition with live operational intelligence.
