Emergent Hits $100M ARR in Just 8 Months as AI Coding Platform Surges
Emergent, the vibe coding platform that enables anyone to turn ideas into monetizable software, today announced the launch of its mobile app, Emergent AI, as the company surpasses $100 million in annual recurring revenue in just eight months. The company doubled its ARR from $50 million to $100 million in one month. More than six million builders across 190+ countries have created over seven million apps on Emergent, powering real businesses and workflows.
For decades, technical barriers such as long development cycles, six-figure builds, and limited engineering talent acted as gatekeepers to starting a business. But with 91% of American adults owning a smartphone, Emergent’s mobile app launch removes barriers to building for millions in the U.S. and billions worldwide.
With Emergent AI, users can go from idea to a fully functional app and publish directly to the App Store and Google Play. A founder can iterate on product logic while waiting for a flight. An SMB owner can tweak workflows minutes after a customer call. A consultant can turn live feedback into new features instantly.
“The best ideas rarely wait for you to be at your desk,” said Mukund Jha, co-founder and CEO of Emergent. “The need for new software building tools is clear, as evidenced by Emergent’s traction. We wanted to make sure creativity never stops. Now you can speak your idea into Emergent’s mobile app, and our AI turns it into a real, working app in minutes.”
The company has already seen over 10,000 mobile apps built and shipped through early access. Beyond on‑the‑go creation, Emergent enables mobile users to:
-
Start by voice — simply say “Build me a mobile app that…” and Emergent builds it
-
Continue seamlessly between mobile and desktop with unified editing
-
Create websites, mobile tools, and SaaS platforms that are production‑ready from day one
This latest launch closely follows Emergent’s $70 million Series B funding, which brought total funding to $100 million from Khosla Ventures, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Lightspeed, Prosus, Together, Y Combinator, and Google’s AI Futures Fund. The company’s momentum reflects a broader shift in who gets to build software, with non-technical founders, operators, and business owners increasingly launching and monetizing products directly on the platform.
