该公司年化经常性收入已达1.2亿美元，拥有超过20万付费客户，其平台面向创业者和中小企业，提供涵盖部署、托管、测试和调试的全流程AI编程服务。 本轮融资由Creaegis领投，Khosla Ventures、SoftBank Vision Fund 2等跟投。
印度 AI 编码初创公司 Emergent（https://emergent.sh/）在 C 轮融资中筹集了 1.3 亿美元，投后估值为 15 亿美元，六个月内估值翻了五倍。
此次融资轮由私募股权公司 Creaegis 领投。新投资方 MNI Ventures-Claypond、Sentinel Global，以及现有投资方 Khosla Ventures、软银愿景基金 2、Lightspeed 和 Y Combinator 也参与了投资。此次交易使 Emergent 的总融资额达到 2.3 亿美元。该初创公司此前在 1 月以 3 亿美元的估值完成了 7000 万美元的 B 轮融资（https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/20/indian-vibe-coding-startup-emergent-raises-70m-at-300m-valuation-from-softbank-khosla-ventures/）。
AI 编码吸引了大量投资者，像 Lovable（https://techcrunch.com/tag/lovable/）、Replit（https://techcrunch.com/tag/replit/）和 Cursor（https://techcrunch.com/tag/cursor/）等初创公司筹集了数十亿美元，用于开发帮助开发者加快工作效率的工具。AI 实验室如 OpenAI 和 Anthropic 也进一步深入编码领域（https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/05/openai-launches-new-agentic-coding-model-only-minutes-after-anthropic-drops-its-own/）。
Emergent 希望通过面向希望创业的企业家以及传统上依赖电子邮件、电子表格和消息应用来运营的中小企业来获取该竞争激烈市场的一部分。
“我们的理念一直是为认真的建设者打造生产级应用，”Emergent 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Mukund Jha（上图右）在接受 TechCrunch 采访时表示。“所以你基本上是在获得一个‘盒装’的工程团队。”
Jha 表示，该初创公司已达到 1.2 亿美元的年度运行收入，过去四个月增长了 70%，并拥有超过 200,000 名付费客户。Jha 于去年六月与他的兄弟 Madhav Jha（首席技术官）共同创立了 Emergent。
客户包括构建软件以追踪货运的运输公司；工厂；创建企业资源规划系统的建筑公司；以及开发内部客户管理工具的物业管理公司。
北美客户约占 Emergent 收入的三分之一，欧洲占另一三分之一，其余来自其他市场，Jha 告诉 TechCrunch。印度约占 8% 到 9%。
Emergent 专注于小型企业和创业者，这使其直接与 Replit 竞争，Jha 将 Replit 描述为该初创公司的最接近的竞争对手。他试图将 Emergent 与面向开发者的编码工具区分开，例如 Anthropic 的 Claude Code：https://techcrunch.com/tag/claude-code/、OpenAI 的 Codex：https://techcrunch.com/tag/codex/ 以及 Cursor，认为非技术用户需要一个平台，能够在编程工作的同时处理部署、托管、测试和调试。
然而，Jha 承认设计仍然是一个弱点，他指出，使用 AI 工具构建的许多网站往往看起来很相似。
Emergent 计划利用新资金加快产品开发和研究，包括提高在其平台上构建的应用的成功率及其核心 AI 代理工作流程。该公司正在努力支持更复杂的 AI 应用，包括使用本地和开源模型的应用，Jha 说，并补充称公司还将投资于扩大其市场拓展业务。
该公司还在考虑在欧洲开设办事处，Jha 表示，Emergent 在欧洲的客户吸引力显著。
Emergent 约有 200 名员工，其中大多数在班加罗尔工作，少数在旧金山。Jha 说，该初创公司计划在今年年底前将旧金山办事处的员工增加 30 到 40 人。

Indian AI coding startup Emergent：https://emergent.sh/ has raised $130 million in a Series C funding round at a $1.5 billion post-money valuation, a five-fold jump in six months.
The funding round was led by private equity firm Creaegis. New investors MNI Ventures-Claypond, Sentinel Global, and existing backers Khosla Ventures, SoftBank’s Vision Fund 2, Lightspeed, and Y Combinator also participated. The deal takes Emergent’s total funding to $230 million. The startup had previously raised a $70 million Series B：https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/20/indian-vibe-coding-startup-emergent-raises-70m-at-300m-valuation-from-softbank-khosla-ventures/ at a $300 million valuation in January.
AI coding has attracted hordes of investors, with startups such as Lovable：https://techcrunch.com/tag/lovable/, Replit：https://techcrunch.com/tag/replit/, and Cursor：https://techcrunch.com/tag/cursor/ raising billions in funding to develop tools that allow developers to speed up their work. AI labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic have also pushed deeper into coding：https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/05/openai-launches-new-agentic-coding-model-only-minutes-after-anthropic-drops-its-own/.
Emergent is looking to gain a share of this crowded market by targeting entrepreneurs looking to start new businesses and small and medium-sized companies that have traditionally relied on email, spreadsheets, and messaging apps to run their operations.
“Our thesis has always been to build a production-grade application for serious builders,” Emergent co-founder and chief executive Mukund Jha (pictured above, right) told TechCrunch in an interview. “So you’re basically getting an engineering team in a box.”
Jha said the startup has reached an annual run-rate revenue of $120 million, up 70% in the last four months, and has more than 200,000 paying customers. Jha started Emergent with his brother Madhav Jha (CTO) in June last year.
Customers include trucking companies building software to track shipments; factories; construction businesses creating enterprise resource planning systems; and property managers developing internal customer management tools.
North American customers account for about a third of Emergent’s revenue, Europe makes up another third, and the rest comes from other markets, Jha told TechCrunch. India accounts for about 8% to 9%.
Emergent’s focus on small businesses and entrepreneurs pits it directly against Replit, which Jha described as the startup’s closest rival. He sought to distinguish Emergent from developer-focused coding tools such as Anthropic’s Claude Code：https://techcrunch.com/tag/claude-code/, OpenAI’s Codex：https://techcrunch.com/tag/codex/, and Cursor, arguing that non-technical users need a platform that handles deployment, hosting, testing, and debugging alongside the work of programming.
However, Jha acknowledged that design remains a weakness, pointing out that many websites built using AI tools tend to look similar.
Emergent plans to use the fresh capital to accelerate product development and research, including improving the success rate of applications built on its platform and its core AI agent workflows. The company is working to support more complex AI applications, including those that use local and open source models, Jha said, adding that it will also invest in expanding its go-to-market operations.
The company is also considering opening an office in Europe, where Jha said Emergent is seeing significant customer traction.
Emergent has about 200 employees, most of whom work in Bengaluru, with a handful in San Francisco. The startup plans to expand its San Francisco office by 30 to 40 people by the end of the year, Jha said.
