Runable secures $21 million to expand AI agents from building to growing businesses
Indian AI startup Runable raised $21 million in Series A funding to develop agents that not only create websites and apps but also acquire customers and manage marketing for small firms.
Runable, an AI startup founded in 2025 and headquartered in Bengaluru, announced a $21 million Series A round co-led by Susquehanna Venture Capital and Nexus Venture Partners, bringing its post-money valuation to $65 million. The funding will support the rollout of an AI agent that moves beyond website and app generation to handle customer acquisition, advertising, SEO and social-media outreach for small businesses. Co-founders Umesh Kumar and Saksham Sarda pivoted from building a data-scraping browser to a general-purpose assistant after users asked for slide decks and other content.
Within three weeks of launching paid services in March, the company claimed a $2 million annualised revenue run rate and now hosts about 1.7 million users, primarily in the US, UK and Japan. Although Runable currently runs at negative gross margins due to subsidised AI usage, it expects falling inference costs and its own models to improve profitability. Competitors include AI giants like Anthropic and OpenAI as well as coding platforms such as Cursor, Lovable and Replit, while Runable differentiates itself by handling the full business-growth workflow for non-technical owners.
Why it matters
The funding enables Runable to offer AI tools that could lower marketing costs for small businesses worldwide.
