Emergent, founded by twin brothers Mukund and Madhav Jha, has raised $23 million in Series A funding led by Lightspeed to develop a platform for non-technical users to create apps using prompts, managing APIs and deployment steps. With AI agents for error detection and fixing, users can integrate payment options and access a brainstorming mode. Over 1.5 million apps have been built since last year, with Emergent competing against Canva, Figma, Vibecode, and Rocket. Hemant Mohapatra from Lightspeed highlighted Emergent's AI capabilities in deployment, sharing, bug fixing, and support.
