Emergent Secures $70M Series B Funding, Boosted by SoftBank and Khosla Ventures
Indian AI vibe‑coding startup Emergent announced a $70 million Series B round led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Khosla Ventures, pushing its valuation to $300 million. The fresh capital is set to accelerate product development and expand its market reach across Asia and beyond.
According to the company, the funding round comes on the back of a reported $50 million annual recurring revenue (ARR) and a bold target to surpass $100 million ARR by April 2026. Emergent’s technology enables developers to generate code snippets through natural language prompts, positioning it at the forefront of the AI‑driven developer tools market.
SoftBank’s involvement underscores the firm’s confidence in the Indian tech ecosystem, while Khosla Ventures adds its deep expertise in scaling AI startups. Both investors see Emergent’s rapid ARR growth and its unique “vibe‑coding” approach as key differentiators.
