Emergent Ventures

Emergent Ventures is a Silicon Valley–based seed-stage venture capital firm that has been backing Enterprise AI founders since 2016. The firm focuses on 'Intelligent Software' — Enterprise AI, Cloud Infrastructure, and beyond — investing in US-market-oriented startups from inception through pre-Series A. Emergent leads seed rounds with conviction, aiming to spot signals before the market and partner with founders at the earliest stage, before product-market fit. The firm's approach is hands-on and bespoke: it provides tailored support on go-to-market strategy, product iteration, and customer traction, backed by a network of 100+ AI-forward CXOs and enterprise operators. Emergent's team has been involved in 50+ venture investments over its history, including 7 unicorns and 18 realized exits, and manages over $200M in AUM. Portfolio companies are built from anywhere — Silicon Valley, Bangalore, Atlanta, Austin, and Europe — as long as they target the US as their primary market.
