Emergent, a startup founded by twin brothers Mukund and Madhav Jha, has raised $23 million in Series A funding led by Lightspeed. The platform aims to democratize app creation for non-technical users by allowing them to build apps using simple prompts while managing the technical aspects through AI. Since its launch in June, Emergent has seen over 1 million users create 1.5 million apps, indicating a strong interest in accessible app development. The platform differentiates itself by focusing on the entire app development lifecycle, including deployment and bug fixing, which is often a challenge for non-technical users. Emergent's approach includes educating users on technical concepts and providing a brainstorming mode for ideation. The company faces competition from other startups in the vibe coding space but aims to simplify the process further and enhance app discovery and monetization.
