Singapore-based deep tech startup SixSense has secured $8.5 million in Series A funding, led by Peak XV’s Surge with backing from Alpha Intelligence Capital, FEBE, and others, bringing its total funding to $12 million. Founded by engineers Akanksha Jagwani and Avni Agrawal, SixSense has built an AI-powered platform that helps semiconductor manufacturers detect and predict chip defects on the production line in real time.
Designed for process engineers, not data scientists, the no-code platform enables rapid model deployment using fab-specific data. Already deployed by major chipmakers like GlobalFoundries and JCET, SixSense has processed over 100 million chips, delivering up to 30% faster production cycles and reducing manual inspection by 90%.
As global chip manufacturing expands beyond China, SixSense is scaling operations across Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Israel, and now the United States, offering fabs a plug-and-play AI solution untethered from legacy infrastructure.
