Deal analysis

Investment thesis

Emergence focuses on backing founders building B2B software companies, specializing in recognizing emerging business models early in each technology revolution. It made contrarian early bets on horizontal SaaS (Salesforce) and vertical SaaS (Veeva), and is now building expertise across the AI era, including AI infrastructure, physical-world AI, and AI-Native Services companies that sell outcomes rather than software. The firm takes a high-conviction approach, with each Partner making roughly one investment per year so the full team can engage deeply with every founder through diligence, strategy, and network support. It emphasizes long-term, enduring partnerships supported by stable, low-turnover leadership.
