Emergent is a company that specializes in code intelligence and software development.
Founded in 2025 and headquartered in Pleasanton, United States. The public record shows $130M in reported funding and 347 observed employees.
No dated product event is on the public record.
Last round Series C. Announced 2026-07-15.
61 departures over twelve months against a mean monthly roster computed from the headcount series.
Traffic readings taken from the two most recent quarters on the record.
Departures concentrate in a single month or a single destination.
7 checks listed by the pipeline. An untested check is not an all-clear.
The roster shows 307 individual contributors and an average management span of 8.7.
The team grew 555% over twelve months to 347 people. 61 people left in the same period — 31% annualised, or roughly one in three of the people who onboard you.

Departures cluster in December 2025. That shape is a team leaving together, not steady attrition.
61 people left in twelve months against a mean roster of about 197 — 31% annualised. Roughly one in three of the people who onboard you will not be there a year from now.

10 companies appear as next employers. The two counts are separate populations — people here now, and people who left — so they do not trace individual journeys.
No employers identified.
Separate counts and scales; the columns do not trace individual journeys.
Emergent has 10 active job postings. The available role information points to hiring around software quality, automated testing, and development-in-test work, although only one hiring title is named.
The named role points to work building and maintaining automated tests as part of software development. That can mean strengthening release confidence through dedicated QA automation.
- Lead/Senior QA Automation Tester/Developer in Test
The record shows 10 active job postings against one distinct hiring title available. Postings may have opened or closed since, so the signal is the kind of work, not the exact count.
Emergent’s public record describes an AI app-building and software-development platform, with monthly visits at 7,425,032, down -9.0% month over month but up 16.1% quarter over quarter. It shows a small number of documented launches, no named customer partnerships, and public claims of substantial customer adoption that are not attributed to a named company executive in the available record.
On Feb 17, 2026, Emergent rolled out a mobile app. On Apr 15, 2026, it entered the AI-agent space. Together, those events suggest expansion beyond its core AI app-builder offering.
Product Hunt describes Emergent as used for client work and rapid prototyping and records 14 reviews with a 4.6 score. No named customer partnerships are identified in the record.
Emergent’s stated thesis is to build a production-grade application for serious builders. That describes product direction rather than establishing a live capability.
For this software-development platform, the public record does not establish how many applications have been built or remain actively used, user activity or retention, conversion to paying customers, or realized revenue. The evidence supports judging product direction and some public interest, but not the depth or durability of customer usage.
$130M raised in a Series C closed last month, from Creaegis, MNI Ventures-Claypond, Sentinel Global, taking the total raised to $230M. How long that money lasts is not disclosed anywhere public — no cash position, no burn rate — so no runway is estimated here.

A reading of the evidence, not a confirmed account from the company.
The subject they keep returning to is management and hours. One of them: “Cold starts/sleeps kill the flow; half my time was spent waking the agent instead of shipping”.
20 accounts from outside the company, quoted as written.
8 other companies are building in AI-assisted and no-code software development platforms. The best-funded of them on the public record are Cognition (Devin) ($1.0B), Anysphere (Cursor) ($900M) and Replit ($400M), and 5 of them have raised more than the $230M raised here.

No public source discloses cash or burn, so this report cannot estimate runway and neither can anyone else outside the company.
A number of months, and what they would slow down if it got shorter.
“We're well capitalised.” That is not a number.
The roster shows about 61 departures over twelve months. You already know the number — what you are listening for is whether theirs is close to it, and how readily it comes.
Specific reasons per person, roughly matching what is public.
A count materially below the public roster, or “they weren't a fit”.
Headcount moved about 555% in twelve months, to 347. That always rewrites how a company operates, and the honest version of the answer describes the job better than the job description does.
A specific thing that stopped working, and what they replaced it with.
Treating the growth itself as the answer.
The roster puts about 8.7 people under each manager, which is ordinary. What matters is your specific manager's load and how long they have been in the seat — neither is public.
A number, a cadence, and a manager who has been there long enough to know the team.
“We're pretty flat” — which describes the chart, not your week.
Public sources name the other companies in this market but not who wins. The answer tells you whether they know their own market.
A named competitor and a specific missing capability, without defensiveness.
“We don't really have competitors.”
Grey marks unknown information. Amber marks conflicting sources.
Every figure here is computed from the evidence and links to its source. AI gathers that evidence and reads the pages it comes from, so a wrong source or a misread page can still reach this report — follow the links before you rely on anything here.
Nothing is scored or ranked. A grade would compress this into a number about the people who work there, and hide what matters more: which questions the public record can answer, and which you will have to ask them yourself.
Coverage says how much of each question the record could answer. Under 50%, treat it as unanswered rather than settled.
Runway is not modelled. No public source discloses cash position or burn, so no runway figure appears anywhere in this report.
Of 32 workplace observations, 11 came from the company or its founders and 21 from independent voices.
