Runable raises $21M to build AI tools for small business growth

In short: Runable raised $21 million to expand its AI assistant from building business materials to also helping small businesses find customers.

What happened

Runable, a startup based in Bengaluru, India, announced a $21 million Series A funding round. The round was co-led by Susquehanna Venture Capital and Nexus Venture Partners, with existing investors Together Fund and Array VC also joining.

Runable said the funding values the company at $65 million after the investment. The company was founded in 2025 and has a 15-person team.

Runable sells an “AI agent,” which is software that can take actions for you after you type what you want in plain language, like giving instructions to a helper. Today it can build things like websites, apps, and slide presentations, and it can also handle steps like putting a site online and tracking visitors.

The company now wants to push into the “grow” part of running a business. It says the agent is designed to help with tasks like creating ad campaigns, posting on social media, improving search visibility, and promoting a business in AI chatbots.

Runable said it has about 1.7 million registered users, with the U.S., UK, and Japan as major markets. It also said users consumed more than 1 trillion “tokens” in the last 90 days, which are small chunks of text that AI systems process (like counting words in bites), and that 60% to 70% of that usage came from paying customers.

Why it matters

More tools can already help people make a basic website. Runable is betting that small business owners will pay for something closer to a do-it-with-me assistant that helps turn a website into actual customers. The hard part is that it still needs access to outside ad accounts in many cases before it can spend money on ads.
