"Emergent, a company built by twin brothers Mukund and Madhav Jha, aims to become a similar platform for consumers when it comes to app creation. The platform allows non-technical users to create an app using prompts. While that's not a unique pitch in 2025, Emergent intends to aid users through the app development process, while also managing different APIs and deployment steps so they don't have to worry about various technicalities."
"The startup said on Wednesday it has raised $23 million in Series A funding led by Lightspeed, with participation from Y Combinator, Together (Founders of Freshworks' Together Fund), and leading angels including former a16z GP Balaji Srinivasan, Google's Jeff Dean, and Mistral founding team member Devendra Chaplo. The company has raised $30 million to date. Mukund, who was CTO at Google-backed quick commerce startup Dunzo in India, left the company and went to the U.S."
Emergent enables non-technical users to create apps using natural-language prompts while managing APIs and deployment to remove technical complexity. The company was founded by twins Mukund and Madhav Jha, who have long programming backgrounds and prior roles at Dunzo and Dropbox. Emergent raised $23 million in a Series A led by Lightspeed, with participation from Y Combinator, Together, and notable angel investors, bringing total funding to $30 million. The founders believe agent-based app development will be a major economic trend and position Emergent to guide consumers through the app development process rather than competing with developer-focused tools.
