YC’s Summer 2024 batch has produced 4 unicorns (so far). I remember during the batch, someone *in the batch* directly told PG that YC’s best days were behind it, and that there was “unlikely to be another stripe”. As usual, pessimists sound smart while optimists make money. Congratulations to the Emergent team, well earned!
Congrats to @mukundjha, @madhavjha, and @emergentlabs on their $130M Series C at a $1.5B valuation! Emergent lets anyone build full-stack, production-ready software without a technical background. They now have over 12M apps built on the platform, more than 200,000 paying customers, and $120M in annualized revenue, up 70% in the last four months. https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/15/indian-ai-coding-startup-emergent-becomes-a-unicorn-just-over-a-year-after-launch/
