Backing Rocket and the Shift to Vibe Solutioning

AI is rapidly changing the way we code. What was once the exclusive domain of professional programmers is now accessible to a broader set of builders, from prosumers to IT operators and business users. But unlike tools aimed primarily at individuals, Rocket is designed for enterprises. Its impact is not only in enabling non-programmers to create, but in giving entire organizations the ability to build, scale, and integrate applications directly into their business workflows. This shift goes beyond customer-facing products into the internal IT systems and enterprise processes that drive efficiency and growth at scale.

For years, business owners and operators had to rely on scarce engineering resources to turn ideas into applications. Backlogs slowed innovation, and the gap between intent and execution grew. The new wave of AI-powered coding platforms changes that equation. With the right tools, prosumers and business teams can now design, deploy, and maintain applications themselves, freeing engineers to focus on higher-order problems and enabling enterprises to move with speed and confidence.

Founded by Vishal Virani, Rahul Shingala, and Deepak Dhanak, Rocket is built for this shift. The team’s approach, which they call "Vibe Solutioning," helps users go from intent to a production-ready product, not just a demo. While most AI tools stop at generating snippets of code or static mockups, Rocket enables anyone to go from idea to fully functional, multi-page, production-ready applications in minutes. From dashboards to internal tools to consumer apps, the platform delivers solutions that can be launched, scaled, and integrated seamlessly.

What makes Rocket distinctive is breadth. It supports both web and mobile apps, and is one of the few platforms that enables native integrations with custom APIs. This makes it particularly valuable for enterprises that need new applications to plug seamlessly into existing, often complex, systems.

In just four months since launch, Rocket has unlocked:‍

• Over 400,000 users across 180+ countries, with the U.S. leading adoption

• Over 500,000+ production-ready apps, with thousands more created every day

• Rapid adoption among startups, agencies, and enterprises• Use cases spanning small businesses in Brazil, agencies in Dubai, and Fortune100 teams in the U.S.

This traction highlights Rocket’s ability to serve a wide range of customers while proving its relevance to enterprise teams that need both speed and reliability. At Accel, our partnership with Vishal, Rahul, and Deepak goes back to the very beginning. We backed them at pre-seed via our Accel Atoms, and are now proud to participate again in their seed round. This round is led by Salesforce Ventures and Accel, with participation from Together Fund. For us, the calibre of this syndicate reflects not only the strength of Rocket’s product but also the team’s ability to earn the trust of customers and investors through disciplined execution.

The vision ahead is expansive. As AI models become more capable and costs continue to decline, the barriers to enterprise adoption will fall further. We believe Rocket is positioned to become one of the defining platforms of this new era, where AI not only accelerates coding but reshapes how business software is conceived, built, and scaled.At Accel, we have long believed in the compounding impact of platforms that democratize access to technology. Rocket is building one of those platforms. The combination of AI-driven code generation, enterprise-grade flexibility, and global adoption is opening up a massive opportunity.

We are excited to continue our partnership with Vishal, Rahul, and Deepak, and to welcome Rocket to the next chapter with Accel.
