Anything Secures $11 Million in Series A Funding to Revolutionize App Development
San Francisco’s nascent technology firm, Anything, has successfully secured $11 million in a Series A funding round spearheaded by Footwork, with additional backing from M13, achieving an impressive valuation of $100 million.
This infusion of capital elevates Anything’s aggregate funding to a notable $19.5 million, following an earlier $5.5 million seed investment from prominent entities including Bessemer Venture Partners, Uncork Capital, and Shopify’s CEO, Tobi Lütke.
Anything is pioneering a cutting-edge, AI-driven platform that empowers users to craft fully functional mobile and web applications solely through natural language directives.
Distinct from its competitors, Anything ensures that users receive production-ready applications that encompass essential components—from backend infrastructure and authentication to payment processing—enabling rapid development and monetization.
Founded by Dhruv Amin and Marcus Lowe, the startup addresses a prevalent challenge in AI coding tools: many users find themselves stalled post-prototype creation, unable to launch applications capable of generating tangible revenue.
Marcus Lowe, co-founder, articulated, “We’re transitioning from coding assistants to autonomous development teams. You assume the role of a product manager. Specify your requirements, and the agents materialize your vision.
We are not merely facilitating easier coding; we are evolving toward a reality where coding becomes unnecessary for the vast majority.”
The company’s trajectory has been remarkable, amassing over 700,000 registered users and generating $2 million in annual recurring revenue merely two weeks post-launch.
Notable use cases include a real estate agent in Los Angeles charging $100 monthly for an AI training platform, a finance expert earning $34,000 through an AI-driven toolkit, and a film producer developing a children’s AI application projected to yield $20,000 in monthly revenue.
In conjunction with the funding announcement, Anything unveiled a novel product—Anything Maxm, an autonomous AI engineer that autonomously tests applications in real-time environments, identifies bugs, and implements fixes without necessitating user engagement.
This innovation directly addresses a pervasive issue known as the “2 a.m. doom loop,” where users encounter roadblocks from bugs hindering app deployment.
While many AI coding tools excel at creating prototypes, they falter during actual launches. We have rectified the fundamental flaw that plagues every other ‘vibe coding’ solution: users stagnate at 2 a.m., puzzled by their application’s failure to function.
With our new Anything Max agent, we provide a personal software engineer who actively tests your app, identifies issues, and resolves them autonomously. This is how we assist users in completing the final steps, asserted Dhruv Amin, co-founder.
Looking ahead, the company intends to further its growth, aspiring to reshape the landscape from conventional coding assistance to entirely autonomous development squads, enabling users to assume the role of product managers who command AI agents to construct and enhance software—without ever writing a line of code.
