The round was led by Creaegis with participation from Khosla Ventures, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Lightspeed, and Y Combinator, bringing total funding to $230M. The platform targets non-technical users, with 70% of its 200,000 paying customers having never coded. Over 12 million apps have been built on the platform, and annual revenue is at a $120M run rate. Emergent competes with Lovable and Replit, focusing on small businesses and solo founders rather than professional developers. The company plans to use the funds for hiring, research, improving success rates, and potentially opening a European office. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
