Overview
Hang Ten Systems, an AI startup founded by former Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka just four months ago, has expanded its seed funding by another $53 million. This new investment round was closed just five weeks after the initial $32 million seed round was closed, the company tells TechCrunch. The fresh investment, led by Temasek’s early-stage investment platform Xora, takes Hang Ten’s total funding to $85 million.

Key Details
Mayfield, which led the startup’s earlier investment, also participated.
Other investors include Aramco Ventures, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, and Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang, who is also on its board.
Founded in May, Hang Ten is betting that AI can fundamentally reshape how large companies build and maintain software.
The startup advises companies — typically with over $10 billion in annual revenue — on AI strategy and also helps build and modernize software.
“The build part itself has basically become close to zero marginal cost, close to zero time,” Sikka (pictured above) told TechCrunch.
