Emergent Raises $23M to Democratize Software Creation With AI-Powered Vibe Coding

Co-Founders of Emergent - Mukund Jha & Madhav Jha

Emergent, the fast-growing agentic vibe-coding platform today announced $23 million in Series A funding led by Lightspeed, with participation from Together Fund, Y Combinator, Prosus Ventures, and leading angels including Jeff Dean, Devendra Chaplot, and Balaji Srinivasan. This brings Emergent’s total funding to $30 million, including a $7 million seed round backed by Y Combinator and Together Fund. Funds will be utilized to grow the team, deepen investments in research and to grow the platform.

The platform enables anyone, whether a small business owner, solo founder or creator to build and launch full-fledged, production-ready software without writing a single line of code. Emergent gives you a ready-to-use app from day one. It handles everything - from the screens people see, to the servers, logins, payments, and the ability to scale the platform - automatically. Behind the scenes, a team of specialised AI agents code, test and launch, so it feels like you have your own development team in the cloud.

In India, where 6 out of 10 people consider entrepreneurship as a good career path, Emergent eliminates the historical barriers of needing capital, developers, or a technical co-founder. The platform makes software creation possible for those who previously lacked the tools to build. Emergent’s core technology including its AI coding agent and the infrastructure to support rapid deployment was built entirely in-house to ensure security, speed and reliability. The product works out-of-the-box: users get an app that’s ready to launch, with logins, payments, backend, and scaling automatically taken care of. Thus, marking a structural shift in who gets to create software and who benefits from it.

The product has already gained rapid adoption: in just 90 days, Emergent has surpassed $15 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and enabled over one million users to build more than 1.5 million apps.

“My brother and I built Emergent to equip anyone with an idea and a phone to create software affordably,” shared Mukund Jha, co-founder and CEO. “Emergent addresses the technical friction of starting or growing a business. Now anyone from small business owners and aspiring founders to creators can now bring their vision to life, no matter how complex, at a fraction of the time and cost. As the only vibe coding platform that enables users to build highly customizable, production-ready apps, our platform unlocks new possibilities for everyone - not just software engineers.”

"Remember when photography demanded understanding lenses, aperture, lighting, film development, and more? Then the iPhone compressed all of it into a single button for billions of people. Emergent collapses the complexity of software into a single button anyone can press to ship, scale, earn and Lightspeed is proud to back them on this exciting journey," explained Hemant Mohapatra, Partner at Lightspeed.

Emergent’s impact is already visible across a wide range of users globally: a jewellery store owner in Michigan built an app to manage pricing across 50 stores and is now selling that app to others; a small business digitized wheelchair inventory tracking using photos and prompts; a person living with chronic pain built their own app to manage it better; and a UK-based founder of Indian origin created an EV marketplace app to serve a growing market.

Emergent is available at https://emergent.sh/ allowing anyone to start building apps for their businesses, ideas, or communities, instantly.

HyperAutomation Co. Zvolv Launches Generative-AI Orchestration Engine Z-wall for Building Intelligent Apps Faster

• Z-wall enables building intelligent AI Apps faster, with enterprise grade security and compliance
• Announces the release of the 3.0 version of its Low-Code No-Code Platform with several new Hyperautomation Microservices

The Z-wall AI Orchestration engine expands Zvolv’s already extensive hyper automation microservices functionality, enabling enterprises to build a new breed of AI apps that go beyond traditional web and mobile applications by leveraging generative AI capabilities. They drive higher intelligence, massive efficiency gains, and faster time to value with underlying low-code/no-code and AI-assist builder capabilities.

Zvolv, a leading global enterprise hyperautomation company has announced new generative AI capabilities along with the launch of the 3.0 version of its micro-services Low-Code No-Code (LCNC) platform. The new middleware – Z-wall - expands Zvolv’s already extensive enterprise automation and app-building functionality with built-in capabilities that enable leveraging the power of generative AI in next generation enterprise AI apps.

The unveiling of these new Zvolv capabilities was done at Zvolv’s annual CXO meet held this month at the glitzy JIO world convention centre in Mumbai, attended by 50+ CIOs and CEOs from leading enterprises across industry verticals like retail, aviation and logistics, and several of the Zvolv ecosystem partners.

Enterprises today are rushing to adopt generative AI in every possible area, whether to increase productivity, enhance decision-making powered by data-driven insights, or to improve customer and employee experience. However, privacy and scalability concerns hinder organizations from fully embracing AI into their applications. The risk of sensitive data leak is high, the time and cost it takes for deploying private GPT models with adequate controls on usage, reliability and compliance is significant. With rapid evolution of generative AI technology coupled with a scarcity of developer resources, platform approaches to developing new AI applications give fast Time to Market (TTM), low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and eliminate risk.

Zvolv’s hyperautomation microservices platform combined with the Z-wall AI orchestration engine will empower businesses to rapidly deploy the world’s best AI and automation capabilities in their products and services, enabling its customers to realize the promise of generative AI in a secure, trusted way.

“The age of web/mobile apps is now evolving into an age of AI apps, which will dominate the vast majority of the 500M+ enterprise applications to be developed in the next 3-4 years. From a point and click based DIY (Do it Yourself) capabilities of today’s apps, we will see a lot more conversation based GID (Get it Done) capabilities in future AI apps. Today’s new workforce is already getting accustomed to leveraging generative AI in many aspects of their life outside work, and the same level of intelligence and experience will be expected from workplace applications. By leveraging a combination of generic and fine-tuned intelligence in LLM (Large Language Model) models, AI apps will be inherently smarter, more efficient with advanced automation and above all offer a human-like conversational user experience.” said Hardik Gandhi, Chief Executive Officer, Zvolv.

The integration of generative AI in the Zvolv microservices platform will enable enterprises to build AI apps in hours with little to no developer dependence, driving an overall enterprise AI strategy with privacy, security and ethics at the core of the transformation.

• Integrate new human-like conversational and logical reasoning capabilities into the application interfaces, beyond traditional graphical interfaces
• Enable business users to converse with their data, to get faster and more contextual access to organizational knowledge and deeper AI driven insights
• AI-assisted app-building journeys with citizen developers being able to develop more intelligent and deeper automation compared to traditional LCNC builders

“We are averaging 100 hours to build a traditional enterprise app today, with business technologists driving 60-80% of the build process with basic training from the Zvolv Academy. The integration of generative AI into our LCNC builders drives an assisted build journey, which will now enable citizen developers to build end to end, and integrate more advanced AI driven automation into their applications, in under 10-20 hours,” said Sujoy Chakravarty, Chief Operations Officer, Zvolv.

The newly announced Z-wall AI orchestration engine is an integral component to enable the Enterprise AI future, not only isolating the enterprise’s private data from public LLM models, but also governing the usage of generative AI in the variety of new enterprise AI apps.

• Acts as a conduit between the enterprise systems of records and engagements, accessed via the Zvolv microservices layer, and a variety of supported LLM models, private or public, governing access, ethics and optimizing cost.
• Maps the enterprise people, data and process knowledge, enables embeddings, chunking, summarization, semantic search, masking, logging and other necessary data operations to enable effective generative AI usage
• Will improve user experience multifold by reducing app fatigue amongst end users by combining a multitude of AI and traditional apps into a unified enterprise-AI ‘Super App’ that orchestrates information and actions across the enterprise

Sri Srinivasan, Chief Revenue Officer, Zvolv, said, “This new world of Generative AI apps will enable organizations to become leaner and more efficient, while adapting to changes much faster. Re-training an AI app to adapt to a newer process will be much faster and less error prone compared to re-training or re-skilling human resources. While employees focus on more strategic activities, they can get a lot of their more tactical work done with the help of AI. The rate at which technology is changing has changed significantly, and depending on us humans to do it all ourselves is no longer viable.”

Leaders across industry verticals who were given early access to Zvolv’s new capabilities were unanimous in espousing the benefits they see with new generative AI integrations, while drawing comfort that Z-wall enables them to drive responsible AI innovation in their enterprises. “The future of Generative AI would drive business transformation across every function, from retail expansion to provide better insights and planning, to procurement for better managing on-boarding, evaluation and contract automation, to HR and finance to improve employee and partner engagement experience, to logistics for automating tracking and proactively identifying and reacting to bottlenecks,” said Varun Juneja, Assistant Vice President at Lenskart, a multinational optical eyewear retail chain with more than 2,000 stores, who is driving initiatives with early access to this new Zvolv functionality.

The explosive popularity of generative AI has created a watershed moment for Industry leaders who are rapidly looking to leverage hyperautomation and AI to drive productivity across every business function. The market for hyperautomation as an enabler for the enterprise AI vision is expected to reach $50 billion by 2025 and Zvolv is a key industry leader with many Fortune-10 and several Fortune-500 companies already driving transformative change using its platform. Generative AI will usher in a new era of innovation and agility, enabling customers to accelerate growth, improve satisfaction, and drive innovation using Zvolv’s unified hyperautomation microservices and AI orchestration platform.

Zvolv’s (https://www.zvolv.com/) unified LCNC platform combines AI orchestration and hyperautomation microservices to enable organizations to build AI-apps in a matter of weeks. Zvolv no-code platform enables not only building AI apps with no developers involved, it also helps drive an overall enterprise AI strategy with privacy, security and ethics at the core of the transformation. Zvolv is increasing its presence and operations across geographies of India, US, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Australia and Asia Pacific

A Web based IDE Platform, Cloudworx Raises Funds from SucSEED Indovation Fund

Cloudworx Technologies Pvt Ltd, has secured Seed Capital from Hyderabad headquartered SucSEED Indovation Fund as well as IIIT Hyderabad, Expert Dojo, and other angel investors.

With a combination of “No-code + IoT + 3D”, Cloudworx has created a platform that allows users to create 3D applications for the Enterprise Metaverse as Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Platform.

Cloudworx Studio is a web-based IDE that lets users build applications and workflows for 3D content without writing any code. Their current focus is to build applications for the Enterprise Metaverse in the form of digital twins that are powered by real-time data from sensors, equipment, processes, and interactions.

Unlike other Digital-Twin builders, Cloudworx allows users to import custom 3D models, create animations, interactions, workflows and alerts on them; and link them with real-time IoT sensors data to build digital twins in a no-code fashion.

Incorporated in Dec 2019, Cloudworx launched the first version of their product during the first Pandemic wave and has expanded to clients across US and EU markets over the past two years with marquee clients in energy, utility, manufacturing, and e-governance.

Yuvraj Tomar, the Founder and CEO of Cloudworx said, “Going through tons of graphs, charts, and dashboards is very cumbersome and painful for business owners. That's why they are adopting the Enterprise Metaverse in the form of digital twins. However, it's not a simple task to create a working, scalable, and living virtual replica of your factories in 3D. It's really complicated, and requires a specialized 3D development team to do the job; thus out of the reach of many businesses. This is where we step in to bridge the gap by bringing the capabilities of NoCode into a 3D workspace that allows businesses to build 3D apps without writing any code or having to depend on a 3D team.”

He further added that “Seed funding raised from SucSEED Indovation Fund as well as such established Angel Investors, will help us strengthen our existing partner channels and add more muscle to our product of ering. We intend to launch the product in a Freemium SaaS of ering by 4Q and open up a new market category - "citizen developers for the metaverse", in a domain that has only comprised game-engine and Web3 developers till date.”

Speaking on their investment reasons, Vikrant Varshney Co-Founder & Managing Partner of SucSEED Indovation Fund, said, “Based on a report by Fortune Business Insights, metaverse market size was valued at USD 63.83Bn in 2021. The report forecasts that the market is projected to grow from USD 100.27Bn in 2022 to USD 1,527.55Bn by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 47.6% during the period. Low-code/no-code (LCNC) platforms are gaining momentum to cut down software development cycles. Cloudworx dif erentiates itself from others by focusing on building 3D no code editors to build metaverse maps for real time monitoring of locations. Whereas, most of the startups in this space are building no code platform to build only apps. We wanted to help Cloudworx to scale with many businesses & segments for rapid adoption”
