Hang Ten Systems raised a $32 million seed round led by Mayfield with a strategic investment from Aramco Ventures and participation from angel investors, @techcrunch reported. The company announced the round on Wednesday. Vishal Sikka, 59, founded Hang Ten Systems after stepping down as Infosys CEO in 2017 and later founding VianAI.
The startup helps enterprises continuously build, modify, and operate software using AI-driven development and automation. The company is working with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and Fresenius on AI-native project delivery. Its board includes Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang.
Headquartered in the Bay Area, Hang Ten Systems is hiring across delivery, engineering, sales, and leadership roles while planning global expansion. Co-founders include Navin Budhiraja as CTO and Sanjay Rajagopalan as chief design officer, with Tao Liu serving as senior vice president of forward deployed engineering.
Mayfield Managing Partner Navin Chaddha said the company had only started a month earlier yet already secured customers.
Mayfield cited Sikka's experience and the startup's model, which allows leverage to grow with each project rather than scaling linearly with headcount.
