Tensor9 Makes Enterprise Software Installs Effortless with Digital Twins
Many enterprises are eager to tap into powerful new software and AI tools—but strict data security policies often make it impossible to rely on third-party SaaS solutions. That’s where Tensor9 comes in.
This rising startup is reshaping how software vendors deliver their products to large organizations by allowing secure, direct deployment into any enterprise environment—whether on the cloud, on-premise, or even bare-metal servers.
Founded in 2024 by former AWS engineer Michael Ten-Pow, Tensor9 offers a seamless way for vendors to get their tools running inside a client’s infrastructure. The platform transforms vendor code into the right format for deployment, then creates a digital twin—a virtual replica of the deployed setup—so developers can monitor, troubleshoot, and manage software remotely without touching customer data.
“Software vendors don’t just want to hand over code blindly. With our system, they get visibility, control, and reliability,” Ten-Pow explained.
Tensor9’s appeal is especially strong among industries like finance and healthcare, where sending large volumes of sensitive data to external servers is a non-starter. For instance, a company pitching an AI-powered search solution to a bank would usually need access to vast amounts of internal data—something institutions are unwilling to risk. Tensor9 eliminates that hurdle by keeping everything within the company’s environment.
While the idea behind Tensor9 originated from an earlier project that didn’t pan out, Ten-Pow quickly realized through customer feedback that what enterprises truly wanted was on-site software deployment with remote support—and that’s exactly what Tensor9 delivers.
The company started by helping voice AI startups and has since expanded into other areas like enterprise databases, search engines, and data infrastructure tools. Their client list already includes innovative AI startups such as 11x, Retell AI, and Dyna AI.
Tensor9 recently raised $4 million in seed funding, led by Wing VC and backed by investors including Level Up Ventures, Devang Sachdev of Model Ventures, and NVAngels (a group of former Nvidia employees).
The funding will help Tensor9 hire more talent and develop the next generation of its tech to serve even more industries.
“We believe the future of enterprise software isn’t just on-prem or cloud—it’s about software living and running where it makes the most sense,” Ten-Pow said.
Tensor9’s ability to blend flexibility, security, and remote management is setting a new standard for how software reaches the enterprise market—and it may soon become the go-to solution for startups aiming to land major clients.
