Seattle, US · Founded 2021 · Delaware corporation · 13 employees on LinkedIn · 2 known investors

Tensor9 is a software adaptation platform that compiles a vendor's existing stack to run inside customer environments — on-prem, in a customer VPC, or air-gapped — while letting the vendor deploy, update, and operate it with SaaS-like observability. It targets B2B software vendors selling to enterprise and regulated buyers, translating managed cloud services across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle Cloud without maintaining a separate codebase per customer.
