Mukund Jha, Co-Founder and CEO of Emergent, commented: “Not every business founder has the technology expertise or resources to make their dream a reality. With Emergent, we’re giving small business owners, creators and entrepreneurs the tools to bring their vision to life, no matter the complexity. We’re honoured to be supported by Google’s AI Futures Fund and excited to leverage Google’s industry-leading AI technology to further empower Emergent for our rapidly growing user base.”

As the builder of the world’s first agentic vibe coding platform, Emergent is putting the power of software development in the hands of everyday users.

Emergent has built a rapidly-expanding user base of more than 2.5 million people globally in less than five months, and has already exceeded a $25 million ARR run rate. The company aims to be supporting the dreams of tens of millions of entrepreneurs, small business owners, and creatives by early next year.

Emergent makes AI-powered creation accessible to everyone. Its platform has already generated global momentum, with users building apps globally.

Emergent was designed to let anyone turn ideas into production-grade apps with autonomous agents, no technical skills needed. Just a handful of the applications being developed with Emergent include:

• Continuous CV: a UK user built Continuous CV to help professionals keep their achievements fresh and organised. Users log their weekly work accomplishments, and the tool automatically converts those updates into clear résumé-ready bullet points. It’s especially valuable for people switching jobs or recovering from layoffs, when recalling past work can be difficult
• Zolora: one Emergent user in Germany has built a marketing audit app tailored to solopreneurs and small business owners. Quickly and without coding skills, she built a tool that helps users assess their marketing strengths, gaps, and opportunities. The app can offer the kind of structured guidance normally provided by consultants, making high-quality marketing insights more accessible and affordable to small operators with smaller budgets
• AI Use-Case Directory: another Emergent user in Germany is working on a comprehensive directory of AI use cases. The app helps users discover practical ways to apply AI across industries and roles, ultimately lowering the barrier to adopting emerging technologies and helping anyone participate in the growing AI ecosystem

Emergent is driving a structural shift in who gets to create software and who benefits from it. Every spreadsheet hack, every manual process and every “there should be an app for that” idea can now make the jump from concept to reality with ease.

Side hustles, small business owners and solo founders can build without coding, removing the requirement to have an entire engineering team to launch an app.

Jonathan Silber, Co-Founder & Director of AI Futures Fund at Google, said: “The AI Futures Fund is all about reimagining what can be accomplished with generative AI. Emergent’s work is helping people make their ideas a reality, breaking down barriers, and democratising access to the tools businesses need to build their technology stack. We look forward to supporting them on their journey as they build with  Gemini 3, and we can’t wait to see what they do next.”
