Bengaluru: Agentic vibe-coding platform Emergent has raised $23 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Lightspeed, with participation from Together Fund, Y Combinator, Prosus Ventures, and angels including Jeff Dean, Devendra Chaplot, and Balaji Srinivasan.
This brings Emergent’s total funding to $30 million, including a $7 million seed round backed by Y Combinator and Together Fund.
Funds will be utilised to grow the team, deepen investments in research and to grow the platform.
Launched in 2025, it is backed by Lightspeed, Prosus, and YC, among others.
"The product has already gained rapid adoption: in just 90 days, Emergent has surpassed $15 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and enabled over one million users to build more than 1.5 million apps," the platform said, which enables anyone (whether a small business owner, solo founder or creator) to build and launch full-fledged and production-ready software.
“My brother and I built Emergent to equip anyone with an idea and a phone to create software affordably,” said Mukund Jha, co-founder and CEO.
“Emergent addresses the technical friction of starting or growing a business. Now anyone from small business owners and aspiring founders to creators can now bring their vision to life, no matter how complex, at a fraction of the time and cost. As the only vibe coding platform that enables users to build highly customizable, production-ready apps, our platform unlocks new possibilities for everyone - not just software engineers," he added.
