"It was not long ago that building a sophisticated app required a team of experienced programmers hovering over their keyboards. Now, AI has made it possible for a novice with no coding knowledge to whip up high-quality apps from scratch. Emergent, founded out of Y Combinator's startup class of 2024 by twin brothers Mukund Jha and Madhav Jha, is one of the fastest-growing so-called "vibe coding" platforms, already boasting 5 million users."
"Emergent is growing at a pace we rarely see because it is tapping into a segment that has never been served. When barriers to software creation fall this quickly, behavior changes across industries, not just within the technology sector. Emergent is early in shaping how software gets created and monetized over the next decade, not just the next product cycle, and its users are quick to share their success."
Emergent is an AI software-creation platform that enables people with no coding experience to build web and mobile applications.

Emergent raised $70 million in Series B funding led by Khosla Ventures and SoftBank Vision Fund 2, with participation from Prosus, Lightspeed, Together, and Y Combinator. Investors highlighted Emergent's potential to lower barriers to software creation and reshape behavior across industries.
