Ema raises $77M to expand AI “employees” that automate enterprise workflows

The funding backs Ema’s push to replace parts of traditional SaaS and IT services with task-based AI automation.

Ema, a Mountain View-based startup that orchestrates “AI employees” to automate multi-step workflows across existing enterprise apps, has raised a $77 million Series B led by Creaegis, bringing total funding to $140 million and more than quadrupling its 2024 valuation. The company claims over 50 enterprise deals, more than 1 million active enterprise users, and in excess of 5 million processed actions and queries, with customers such as Google, Microsoft, PwC, and NTT DATA. Ema reports revenue growth of 50x in two years, revenue bookings above $150 million on multi‑year contracts, net dollar retention of about 180%, and gross margins near 80%. Rather than charging per seat or token, Ema prices against completed tasks and business outcomes, pitching itself as a way for enterprises to gradually wrap and then replace parts of their SaaS stack and IT services work. The new capital will mainly fund go‑to‑market expansion, including sales and marketing and geographic growth into Asia-Pacific, South America, and parts of the Middle East, on top of existing U.S. and European focus.
