Portfolio News

Jul 27, 2025

At HauerX Holdings, we’re building a portfolio that supports the full arc of AI-driven innovation, from early predictive insights to real-world execution. Today, we’re excited to announce a new strategic partnership with 3D Color, the go-to partner for fast, color-accurate packaging comps and sales samples.

Why It Matters

Innovation doesn’t win until it’s brought to life. 3D Color specializes in transforming final packaging concepts into production-grade prototypes and retail-ready sales samples in as little as 48 hours, measured to a ΔE ≤ 2 color spec and designed to shine in retailer meetings, consumer testing, or launch photography & video shoots.

Their promise is simple and powerful:
Color-Perfect. Market-Ready. Shaping First Impressions, In Days, Not Weeks.

In a world where reset windows are tight and creative timelines keep shrinking, 3D Color gives brands a critical speed and quality advantage at the most important moment when products are about to meet the market.

How We’re Supporting

While we’re not investors in 3D Color, we serve as strategic advisors, helping them apply AI to accelerate growth and innovation across the CPG landscape.

Where 3D Color Fits in Our Ecosystem

Our portfolio spans the full innovation and commercialization lifecycle, connecting strategy, insight, ideation, and execution into one seamless system:

  • FifthRow – AI‑native consulting apps for trend analysis, competitor benchmarking and venture scouting.

  • Ai Palette – Predictive trend analytics and generative product‑concept ideation for CPG brands.

  • Nichefire – Cultural‑intelligence platform that synthesizes data from multiple channels to spot emerging trends.

  • Prosper Insights & Analytics – Provider of zero‑party consumer data and predictive analytics for persona creation and market forecasting.

  • SurveySensum – AI‑powered voice‑of‑customer platform focusing on NPS/CES/CSAT surveys with strong implementation support.

  • BOI (Board of Innovation) – Independent AI innovation partner offering strategy, build and transformation services.

  • 3D Color – Delivers rapid, color‑perfect packaging prototypes and sales samples (48‑hour comps with precise ΔE ≤ 2 color matching).

  • StoryTap – AI‑driven user‑generated video platform that collects authentic testimonials and stories at scale.

  • Serial Growth Lab – Provides keynotes, workstreams and advisory services that turn AI ambition into compounding business impact.

Together, this stack helps companies not only imagine what’s next, but bring it to market faster, smarter, and more effectively than ever before.

More to come as we continue to build partnerships and expand our capabilities.
