Tensor9 secured $4 million in new funding to advance its any-prem platform, which is designed to help SaaS and AI vendors better serve their enterprise customers, especially those that have strict security and regulatory obligations.
Wing VC led the seed round, and investors Devang Sachdev, NVAngels and Level Up Ventures made contributions as well. There were also multiple strategic angel investors with backgrounds at organizations like Google and Amazon who participated.
A team of early AWS S3 engineers founded Tensor9 to provide software vendors with solutions that allow them to deploy their applications directly into cloud-prem, on-prem and fully air-gapped customer environments. The Seattle-based company’s platform relies on digital twin architecture, which gives a vendor the ability to work with software as if it’s running in their own cloud when it’s actually operating within customer-owned infrastructure.
“Any-prem is becoming the new standard for enterprise software delivery. Just as SOC2 became table stakes for trust, enterprises are increasingly expecting software to run inside their own environment. We want to help vendors unlock new customers while focusing on their differentiated value,” said Michael Ten-Pow, Tensor9 co-founder and CEO, said in a statement.
