Thesis

Emergence invests in early-stage B2B software companies that will define the next era of enterprise technology. Founded in 2003 as the original cloud/SaaS-focused VC firm, they have pioneered investing through technology transitions: horizontal SaaS (Salesforce, Zoom), vertical SaaS (Veeva, Doximity), and now AI-native services — companies that sell outcomes rather than software, powered by AI that compounds competitive advantage over time.
