Emergent ARR Hit $50M
Jan 23, 2026
Emergent is an AI-driven software creation platform redefining how applications are built by combining autonomous AI agents with a user-friendly “vibe-coding” interface that enables users— even those without coding experience— to design, build, test, and deploy full-stack web and mobile applications quickly.
Founded in 2025 and headquartered in San Francisco with a large engineering hub in Bengaluru, the platform targets entrepreneurs, small businesses, and creators looking to launch production-ready software without traditional development barriers, dramatically lowering the cost and complexity of building software at scale. Emergent’s approach integrates design, development, testing, and monetization into a single workflow that rivals traditional no-code and low-code tools.
Emergent’s growth metrics highlight its rapid ascent in the AI SaaS world: the startup has amassed over 5 million users across more than 190 countries and scaled to $50 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) within just seven months of its launch—up from roughly $100 000 ARR earlier in its lifecycle, with projections to surpass $100 million ARR by April 2026. This explosive revenue trajectory underscores strong market demand for tools that democratize software creation and reflects a broader shift toward AI-assisted development platforms.
Emergent’s funding and valuation story further emphasize its market momentum: the company raised $70 million in Series B funding led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Khosla Ventures, boosting its valuation to approximately $300 million post-money and bringing its total funding to $100 million within seven months.
Other notable backers include Prosus, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Together Fund, and Y Combinator. The capital infusion will fuel further product innovation, team expansion across the U.S., Europe, and India, and deeper penetration into key global markets, positioning Emergent as a leader in the next wave of AI-powered software platforms.
