Runable's co-founder & CEO, Umesh Kumar, emphasized the platform's purpose: “Nobody starts a business because they want a landing page. They start it because they want customers and revenue.” The platform not only automates software creation but also focuses on delivering tangible business outcomes.1112
Nexus Venture Partners' partner, Jishnu Bhattacharjee, noted that “most AI tools stop at output,” while Runable aims to provide businesses with customers, revenue, and cash in the bank.

As Shubham Gupta, co-founder of Together Fund, stated, “Durable value in AI will be created by helping users actually run their business, rather than just creating software.”
“Runable's platform helps small businesses create websites, manage marketing across Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok, and handle customer support. Co-founder Umesh Kumar said the goal is to help businesses get customers and revenue, not just build software.”
