About Hasan Sukkar
Hasan Sukkar is the founder of 11x, an AI company that builds autonomous digital workers for sales and revenue teams. He started the company in 2022 in London and later moved to San Francisco. Crunchbase lists him as a former McKinsey & Company consultant with a Master of Engineering from the University of Exeter. Forbes included him in its 2024 30 Under 30 Europe Technology list.
11x announced a $2M pre-seed round in August 2023, when Sukkar was co-founder and CEO. In 2024 it raised a $50M Series B led by Andreessen Horowitz. In May 2025 Sukkar stepped down as CEO. Prabhav Jain, the CTO, took over, and Sukkar became non-executive chairman. In that role he was to work on strategic direction, product vision, industry relationships and new markets.
Sukkar's angel investing is recent and small in number. Crunchbase lists two personal investments, both seed rounds announced in 2026: Zalos in March and Strix in June. The Zalos round is confirmed by the company's press release, which names him among its angel investors. He has not published a check size or a fund, and no public statement on how he chooses investments turned up.
Both listed investments are AI companies. Zalos builds computer agents for finance operations. It announced a $3.6M seed round on 24 March 2026, led by 14 Peaks with Cohen Circle, 20VC and a group of angels. Sukkar is listed among those angels as the founder of 11x. Strix raised a $6.7M seed round in June 2026, per the Lounge deals desk, and Crunchbase lists him as an investor. Crunchbase shows no lead investor for either round.
The public record shows seed-stage investing in AI companies, specifically AI applied to business workflows and finance operations. His own operating background is in AI agents for go-to-market teams. Check size is not public. Sukkar is based in San Francisco according to Crunchbase. Sources disagree on his location, and some data aggregators still list London.
