  "account": "Runable has secured $21 million in Series A funding to grow its AI-powered business platform. The round was co-led by Susquehanna Venture Capital and Nexus Venture Partners, with participation from existing investors Together Fund and Array VC. Founded in 2025 by Umesh Kumar and Saksham Sarda, the Bengaluru-based startup now boasts over 1.5 million users and a team of just 15 people. Runable's platform extends beyond software creation, enabling users to build websites, mobile apps, internal tools, and pitch decks. It also provides infrastructure features like databases, authentication, payments, and deployment. The company's capabilities include market analysis, prospect generation, social content creation, customer support, SEO, and competitor monitoring. Runable is now focusing on AI-driven marketing, handling campaigns across various platforms like ChatGPT Ads, Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok. The startup targets small businesses with limited teams and resources, offering AI-powered capabilities for marketing, operations, websites, and growth. Runable's user base includes agencies, consultancies, and cleaning companies across the US, UK, Japan, and Brazil, many of which operate with just two employees. The platform aims to provide small businesses capabilities previously requiring larger teams. Runable's initial focus was on AI infrastructure for browser technology and data extraction; however, growing demand for various business tasks led to the development of a general-purpose agent. The company has also launched Runable Academy, a free learning module for business owners. The new funding will support hiring in engineering, machine learning, product, growth, and customer support, as well as expanding growth capabilities and refining the technology behind its autonomous agent. Runable's analytics show that users have consumed more than one trillion tokens over the past 90 days, with 60% to 70% of usage coming from paying customers. Despite operating with negative gross margins due to AI usage subsidies, the company anticipates improvements in economics as AI inference costs decline. Runable competes with other general-purpose AI agents like Manus and Genspark, as well as coding platforms such as Cursor, Lovable, and Replit. However, the company differentiates itself by focusing on business outcomes rather than just software development.",
