Runable Raises $21M Series A to Help AI Agents Grow Businesses

Bengaluru-based AI startup Runable has raised $21 million in a Series A funding round co-led by Susquehanna Venture Capital and Nexus Venture Partners, with participation from existing investors Together Fund and Array VC.

The all-equity round values Runable at $65 million post-money, according to co-founder and CEO Umesh Kumar. The company plans to use the fresh capital to expand its AI agent platform beyond building websites and applications into customer acquisition and business growth.

From Building Software to Growing Businesses

Founded in 2025 by Umesh Kumar and Saksham Sarda, Runable initially started as an AI infrastructure company focused on browser technology for scraping data at scale.

The founders noticed that users were increasingly asking its browser-based agent to create websites, presentations and other digital products. This led Runable to pivot toward a general-purpose AI agent capable of handling multiple business tasks through natural language prompts.

Today, the platform allows users to build websites, applications, presentations and other content while also managing infrastructure such as deployment and analytics.

The company is now expanding into what it calls the “grow” side of the business. Its AI agent is being developed to run advertising campaigns, manage social media, handle SEO and improve a company’s visibility across AI chatbot results.

Targeting Small Businesses

Runable is focused on small business owners who may not want to configure multiple software tools or manage complex AI workflows themselves.

Rather than simply helping businesses create a website or application, the company wants users to eventually be able to ask its agent to achieve specific business outcomes, such as bringing in a certain number of customers.

The platform aims to combine website creation, analytics, advertising, marketing and distribution into a single workflow instead of requiring businesses to connect several different services.

Early Traction and Global Reach

Runable launched payments in March 2026 and reached a $2 million annualized revenue run rate within three weeks, according to Kumar.

The startup currently has around 1.7 million registered users, with the U.S., U.K. and Japan among its largest markets. It also has users in Brazil and expects Japan to become one of its largest markets alongside the U.S.

Users have consumed more than 1 trillion tokens on the platform over the past 90 days, with approximately 60% to 70% of that usage coming from paying customers, according to Kumar.

Despite this usage, Runable currently operates with negative gross margins because it subsidizes AI usage for customers. The company expects falling AI inference costs and improvements to its model stack to help strengthen its economics over time.

Competition in AI Agents

Runable operates in an increasingly crowded AI agent market, competing indirectly with major AI companies and coding platforms such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Lovable and Replit.

The company identifies general-purpose agents including Manus and Genspark as closer competitors because they target similar users and use cases.

However, Runable is positioning itself differently by focusing on what happens after a product is built. Its goal is to help nontechnical business owners not only create digital products but also attract customers, manage distribution and ultimately generate business outcomes.

The latest funding will support Runable’s expansion as it develops this broader AI agent platform and works toward its vision of helping small businesses move from building with AI to growing with AI.
