Emergent builds autonomous coding agents that replace traditional software development by generating, testing, and deploying production applications directly from plain-language intent. Our systems run in production at global scale and are used to build millions of real applications. Since our public launch, we’ve crossed $100M in ARR and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries, who have built 12M+ applications on Emergent.

We’re backed by Creaegis, Claypond, Sentinel Global, Khosla Ventures, Soft Bank, Google, Lightspeed, Prosus, Together, and Y Combinator.

We’re hiring builders who want ownership, speed, and impact at global scale.
