Together Fund'sManav Garg joins Emergent as executive chairman
Manav Garg, cofounder and managing partner of early-stage venture firm Together Fund, has joined AI startup Emergent as executive chairman, marking a return to an operating role after years in venture investing.
Announcing the move in a LinkedIn post on Thursday, Garg stated that he will continue supporting founders and portfolio companies at Together Fund alongside his new responsibilities at Emergent.
At the AI startup, Garg will work closely with cofounders Mukund Jha and Madhav Jha. Together Fund had invested in the company in September 2024 and followed up by participating in its $23 million round in September 2025 and the $70 million raise this January.
The company, which competes with the likes of Lovable and Replit, now has an annualised run rate (ARR) of more than $100 million, founder and CEO Mukund Jha told ET.
Garg’s transition comes amid a growing conviction around artificial intelligence (AI) reshaping businesses. “AI is moving beyond software creation and toward business operation,” he said, adding that certain platform shifts are “too important to observe only from the sidelines.”
Garg had cofounded Eka Software Solutions (Quoreka) and SaaSBoomi, now AIBoomi, and has backed early-stage startups, including Composio and RapidClaims, through Together Fund.
