The round also saw participation from Prosus, Lightspeed, Together Fund, and Y Combinator, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
The fresh capital will be used to expand its team, accelerate product development, and foray into new international markets.
“We are seeing millions of people build and ship real businesses, workflows, and products in days. As a result, many are generating new sources of income,” said Mukund Jha, co-founder and CEO of Emergent.
The latest round takes the Bengaluru-based firm’s total funding to $100 million within seven months of launch.
Founded by twin brothers Mukund Jha and Madhav Jha, Emergent is an AI-native app-building platform that allows users to go from an idea to a production-ready application by describing requirements in plain language.
At present, the firm claims to have over 5 million users across more than 190 countries building and deploying applications on its platform.
The company also said its annual recurring revenue (ARR) has scaled to $50 million in the past seven months and is on track to cross $100 million ARR by April 2026.
The Series B comes less than three months after the firm’s Series A round in September. The fundraise also follows recent backing from Google’s AI Futures Fund.
“Emergent is growing at a pace we rarely see because it is tapping into a segment that has never been served,” said Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures.
Emergent positions itself as an end-to-end software development platform, using autonomous AI agents to design, build, test, and scale applications. The platform also integrates billing and payments, allowing users to monetise products immediately after launch.
“Emergent is harnessing AI to unlock a massive wave of entrepreneurship by removing the technical and capital barriers that have historically limited who can build software,” said Sarthak Misra, partner at SoftBank Investment Advisers.
