# SixSense

> SixSense is a Singapore-based deep tech company building an AI platform that helps semiconductor manufacturers spot, classify and predict chip defects in real time. Founded in 2018 by Akanksha Jagwani and Avni Agarwal, its no-code software lets process engineers train and deploy computer-vision models on their own fab data in under two days - automating visual inspection, lot disposition and root-cause analysis. Used by chipmakers including GlobalFoundries and JCET, the platform has analyzed more than 100 million chips and raised roughly $12M to date, including an $8.5M Series A in 2025.

## Products & services

- **AI-ADC (Automated Defect Classification)** — AI-powered visual inspection that automatically detects and classifies defects on wafers and chips at line speed using deep learning and computer vision.
- **Lot Disposition Intelligence** — Highlights high-risk wafers based on defect severity and yield impact so engineers can make faster, better disposition decisions.
- **Root Cause Analysis & Defect Prediction** — Traces defect recurrence patterns across devices and flags at-risk wafers proactively, enabling real-time process control.
- **No-code AI model platform** — Lets process engineers fine-tune, train and deploy AI models on their own fab data in under two days without writing code.

## Achievements

- Analyzed more than 100 million chips across production lines
- Raised ~$12M total including an $8.5M Series A in 2025
- Deployed at tier-1 chipmakers GlobalFoundries and JCET
- Reported customer results: up to 30% faster production cycles, 1-2% yield improvement, and 90% reduction in manual inspection work
- Female-founded deep-tech company in the male-dominated semiconductor sector
- Expanded to four locations: Singapore, San Francisco, Bengaluru and Hsinchu (Taiwan)
