A startup based in Bangalore, Emergent, recently announced an investment from the Google AI Frontier Fund, with the amount undisclosed. The company stated that it will use the funds to accelerate talent recruitment, product development, and global expansion.
Emergent's autonomous coding platform, designed for early-stage startups, allows users to build production-level applications without the need for developers, funding, or technical partners. Since its launch in July 2025, the platform has quickly gained market recognition, with over 2.5 million users and an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $25 million. Additionally, in September this year, the company completed a $23 million Series A round led by Lightspeed, bringing the total funding to $30 million.
Mukund Jha, co-founder and CEO of Emergent, said: "Not every business founder has the technical expertise or resources to bring their vision to life. Through Emergent, we provide small business owners, creators, and entrepreneurs with the tools to turn their visions into reality, regardless of complexity."
He added: "We are honored to receive support from the Google AI Frontier Fund and look forward to leveraging Google's leading AI technologies to further enhance Emergent to serve our rapidly growing user base."
The Google AI Frontier Fund was launched in May 2025, aiming to provide funding, technical support, and early access to Google AI models for AI startups. The fund has recently partnered with Accel to invest up to $2 million in early-stage AI startups in 2026.
Jonathan Silber, co-founder and director of the Google AI Frontier Fund, stated that the fund aims to help startups expand their generative AI capabilities. He said: "Emergent's work is helping people realize their ideas, break down barriers, and democratize access to the tools needed to build a tech stack. We look forward to supporting them on their journey and seeing their next steps."
Emergent stated that its platform enables small business owners, part-time workers, and independent founders to build applications without an engineering team. Co-founder Mukund Jha studied at Columbia University and worked at Google. His brother Madhav Jha was an AI scientist at Amazon and later a machine learning engineer at Dropbox before co-founding Emergent in 2025.
Currently, Emergent faces competition in the autonomous coding market from companies such as Lovable, Replit, and Rocket.new.
