Runable has raised $21 million in a Series A round. The deal values the Bengaluru startup at $65 million and was co-led by Susquehanna Venture Capital and Nexus Venture Partners. Existing backers Together Fund and Array VC also joined. Runable announced the round on August 26, 2026.
Runable is a general-purpose AI agent for small businesses. It turns plain-language prompts into websites, apps, presentations, documents, and more, handling the database, payments, and deployment behind the scenes. Its bigger bet is what comes next. Most AI builders stop once the product is made. Runable wants its agent to also find customers and grow the business.

The round is all-equity and primary, meaning the money went to the company rather than to cashing out early shareholders. Founders Umesh Kumar, the CEO, and Saksham Sarda run the company with a team of about 15 people.
The pivot and the traction
Runable did not start here. Kumar and Sarda founded it in 2025 as an infrastructure startup building browser technology to scrape data. Then they watched what users actually did with it. People kept asking the agent to make slide decks and websites, so the founders pivoted to a general-purpose AI agent.
The shift paid off fast. Within three weeks of launching payments in March, Runable went from zero to a $2 million annualized revenue run rate. It now reports roughly 1.5 million registered users, with the United States, United Kingdom, and Japan among its largest markets. That is unusually quick monetization, even in a fast-moving market.
Why it matters
The market for building software with AI is crowded. Runable competes with Anthropic and OpenAI on one side and coding platforms like Cursor, Lovable, and Replit on the other. Building a website is becoming a commodity.
Runable’s answer is to move past building and into growth. Its newer features cover advertising, social media, SEO, and visibility in AI search, aimed at small business owners who have no marketing team. The idea is to be judged on business outcomes, like customers and revenue, not just on producing a site. That is the direction the whole agent market is heading, from tools that make things to agents that deliver results.
What is next
Runable plans to use the money to expand into new markets, build out its product, and grow its engineering and sales teams. The bet is that small businesses will pay for an agent that does not just build their digital presence but actively grows it.
