Runable hits $21M to bet AI agents can go from building businesses to growing them
Runable raised $21 million to push its AI agent beyond app creation into customer acquisition for small businesses.
The Bengaluru startup says its agent can build websites, apps, presentations, and content, and is now being extended to run ads, manage social media, handle SEO, and improve visibility in AI chatbot results. CEO Umesh Kumar said Runable hit a $2 million annualized revenue run rate within three weeks of launching payments in March, though he declined to disclose current revenue or paying customers. TechCrunch’s test found Runable could build and deploy a site and prepare an ad campaign, but still needed an external ad account before spending a budget, except for ChatGPT ads where Runable says it has partner-enabled access.
