Startup Anything Secures $11M to Revolutionize No-Code AI App Development

San Francisco-based startup Anything has successfully raised $11 million in a Series A funding round, led by Footwork, with additional participation from M13. This round places the company’s valuation at $100 million and increases its total funding to $19.5 million, following an earlier seed round that garnered $5.5 million from notable investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, Uncork Capital, and Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify.

Founded by Dhruv Amin and Marcus Lowe, Anything is developing an AI-driven platform designed to democratize application creation. Users can generate fully functional mobile and web applications simply by using natural language prompts. Unlike many competitors, Anything focuses on delivering production-ready apps that encompass backend infrastructure, authentication, and payment systems. This feature allows users to quickly build and monetize their applications without extensive technical knowledge.

The need for such a solution stems from persistent challenges faced by users of existing AI coding tools. Many individuals find themselves stuck after creating prototypes, unable to transition to fully operational applications that can generate revenue. “We’re moving from coding assistants to autonomous development teams,” said Marcus Lowe. “You act like a product manager. Say what you want, and the agents build it. We’re not heading toward a world where everyone can code more easily, but one where almost no one needs to code.”

In just two weeks after its launch, Anything has already attracted over 700,000 registered users and reported an annual recurring revenue of $2 million. The platform has enabled a diverse range of users to develop profitable applications. For example, a real estate agent in Los Angeles has been charging $100 a month for an AI training portal, while a finance professional has generated $34,000 from a suite of AI-powered tools. Additionally, a film producer is working on a children’s AI app that aims for monthly recurring revenue of $20,000.

Accompanying the funding announcement, Anything introduced a new product called Anything Max. This autonomous AI engineer is capable of testing applications in real environments, identifying bugs, and implementing fixes without user intervention. This innovation addresses a common industry issue referred to as the “2 a.m. doom loop,” where developers encounter bugs that stall app deployment.

“Most AI coding tools make great prototypes, but fail on real launches,” explained Dhruv Amin. “We’ve solved the fundamental problem that is the Achilles heel of every other ‘vibe coding’ tool: users get stuck at 2 a.m. trying to launch something and can’t figure out why their app won’t work. With our new Anything Max agent, we’re giving everyone a personal software engineer who actually tries your app, finds bugs, and fixes them autonomously. That’s how you help people cross the last mile.”

Looking ahead, Anything aims to continue its rapid growth, shifting the paradigm from traditional coding assistants to fully autonomous development teams. Users will be empowered to act as product managers, directing AI agents to build and scale software without the need for coding expertise. This approach could redefine the landscape of application development, making it accessible to a broader audience.
