Runable’s platform is built around maintaining shared context and memory as a business moves between different tasks. Users can create websites, mobile apps, internal tools, presentations and marketing materials while also setting up supporting infrastructure such as databases, authentication, payments and deployment.
Once those products are running, the same platform can take on operational and marketing work. Runable supports paid advertising across ChatGPT Ads, Meta, Google, LinkedIn and TikTok, along with social media publishing, outbound email, direct messages and voice calls. It can also monitor competitors and brand sentiment and handle customer support, SEO and answer engine optimization.
The company is targeting the work that comes after a business has created its initial product or online presence. “Building software stopped being the hard part,” said Umesh Kumar, co-founder and CEO of Runable. “Nobody starts a business because they want a landing page. They start it because they want customers and revenue. Software creation got automated. Everything after it didn't. That's what Runable is for.”
Most of Runable’s users are small-business owners operating teams of about two people, including agencies, consultancies and cleaning businesses. The company has users across the U.S., U.K., Japan and Brazil. That customer profile shapes Runable’s approach. Rather than requiring owners to assemble separate tools for software development, advertising, outreach and customer management, the company is trying to put those functions behind one AI agent that retains information about the business as it moves between jobs.
Sai Araveti, investment advisor to Susquehanna VC, said the attraction is the ability to extend automation beyond the initial creation of a website. “AI made starting a business nearly free. Running one is still the expensive part, and that is the gap Runable closes, with an agent that not only helps in building your website but actually help in getting your customers and retaining them, within a budget the owner sets. It gives a two person business the leverage of a much larger team. We are proud to co-lead the round and back Umesh and Saksham.”
Nexus Venture Partners is backing the same broader use of the agent after software has been created. "Most AI tools stop at output. Businesses need outcomes: customers, revenue, cash in the bank,” said Jishnu Bhattacharjee, partner at Nexus Venture Partners. “That’s what Runable’s general purpose autonomous AI agent does: not just automate software creation but build, run and grow a business. We are thrilled to back Umesh and Saksham in their journey of helping millions of users across the globe run their businesses.”
Runable plans to use the new capital to broaden its growth tools, add more marketing channels and improve measurement. The company also wants its agent to identify and make campaign adjustments on its own.
Part of the funding will go toward Runable Academy, a free educational program focused on helping business owners create and expand their companies. Runable also plans to hire across engineering, machine learning, product, growth and customer support.
Together Fund, which backed Runable at the idea stage, is participating again less than 12 months later. “Durable value in AI will be created by helping users actually run their business, rather than just creating software,” said Shubham Gupta, co-founder and general partner at Together Fund. “95% of that revolves around customers, revenues and operations, which is exactly what Runable powers. We backed Umesh and Saksham at the idea stage and have doubled down within 12 months because they've proven this, with thousands of users who run their business on Runable.”
Runable was founded in 2025 by Kumar and Saksham Sarda. Kumar previously co-founded and sold education technology startup SkoolStream, while Sarda began coding at age 12 and later worked on decentralized payment protocols.
For Runable, the Series A provides capital to expand a product that is attempting to combine software creation with the operational work required after launch. Its focus now is widening the range of growth and business functions its agent can handle while serving a user base largely made up of small teams. “There are millions of small businesses outgunned by companies with bigger teams and bigger budgets. Not better ideas,” Kumar said. “We think that's a tooling problem, and we think it's solvable.”
