Background
Emergent, an artificial intelligence company with rapid growth, has secured $30 million to grow its agentic vibe-coding platform to other parts of the world, including the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Lightspeed led the $23 million Series A, with support from YC, Together, Prosus, and several leading tech angels.
Emergent, an AI startup founded in 2025 in San Francisco, has become one of the fastest-growing AI startups in the world, with a recurring annual revenue of 15 million dollars in 90 days of operation. The platform enables founders and small businesses to develop full-stack production-ready applications that are driven by autonomous AI agents without writing a single line of code.
The system automatically handles screens, servers, logins, payments, and scaling, effectively serving as a personal, cloud-based development team. Specialized AI agents code, test, and launch apps while remembering project details and fixing issues as needed.
Co-founder and CEO Mukund Jha said, “Emergent removes barriers of technical skills and capital, enabling anyone with an idea to create software affordably. In regions like MENA, where SMEs drive economic growth, we see a huge opportunity to empower entrepreneurs to innovate faster.”
Emergent has already helped users globally, including retail, healthcare, and personal productivity apps. Examples include a jewellery store owner digitizing pricing across 50 stores, a UK-based EV marketplace, and a Dubai professional creating a voice-powered productivity tool in a week.
Hemant Mohapatra of Lightspeed added, “Emergent compresses the complexity of software into a single button, making innovation accessible to everyone.”
With this funding, Emergent plans to expand into MENA and Asia, supporting governments’ digital transformation goals and helping SMEs rapidly turn ideas into real software.
