The company offers custom computers for developers, designers, and gamers with the relevant preinstalled software. The service allows users to access a powerful cloud computer from any device and eliminates the need to buy new hardware, when more computational power is needed.[1] The service is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Android operating systems.[2]

Sixa has been backed by Y Combinator to join its Summer 2016 batch, and as of July 2016, raised more than $261,000 funding from Startupbootcamp Istanbul, WS Investments, and Y Combinator.[3]

Starting from December 2016, the Sixa service is publicly available for usage. As part of its launch, the company has raised a $3.5 million seed investment in a round led by Tandem Capital.[4]
