Backed by Lightspeed, Y Combinator, Together Fund, and Prosus, Emergent is reimagining how software gets built.
Our vision is to democratize development, enabling anyone with an idea to become a creator and making software accessible to a billion people worldwide. Our autonomous coding agents turn plain-language ideas into fully functional applications, tested, version-controlled, and deployable in minutes. What once took weeks now happens with a single click.
Headquartered in San Francisco, we’re led by repeat entrepreneurs with a proven track record of building successful startups, joined by a world-class team of Olympiad medalists, IIT & IIM alumni, and veterans from Google, Amazon, and Dropbox. Together, we’re building at the frontier of AI and systems engineering, shipping daily and setting new standards for AI-driven development.
In just 5 months, we scaled to $25M ARR, shipped 3M+ Apps, with 2.5M users across 180+ countries, making us one of the fastest-growing AI startups in the world.
