Today is a meaningful milestone for us at @rocketdotnew .
We’ve always believed that building shouldn’t depend on where you are or what tools you have- only on the strength of your idea.
With that belief, we’re launching Rocket Mobile for iPhone.
For the first time, Rocket isn’t something you come to.
It’s something that stays with you.
Same intelligence. Same capability. Same speed.
Now in your pocket.
You can now build real products from your phone-
start an idea, fix a flow, update a feature, integrate and deploy instantly- all in the in-between moments that usually go wasted.
This changes the rhythm of how people build:
web → mobile → web, without losing context or momentum.
This is just the first step toward a fully ambient, always-with-you building experience.
Build anywhere. Because ideas can’t wait.

What will it take for enterprises to run software engineering like AI-native companies?
Today, we are announcing Autoheal’s (@autohealai) $𝟳.𝟵𝗠 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 to help make it possible 🚀
This funding will help us expand our go-to-market team, accelerate enterprise rollouts, and strengthen the platform reliability and customer support that enterprise adoption demands.
Our thesis is simple: enterprises need 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 and 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲-𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 working together to trust agents with more engineering work.
That’s why we built Autoheal: a 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲.
We provide prebuilt, cloud-based worker agents for incident response, vulnerability remediation, and AI coding cost efficiency. We also provide the sovereign infrastructure enterprises need to build and continuously improve agents across the post-coding SDLC, all within their security boundary.
Here’s how the self-improvement loop works:
↳ 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲. Analyze agent traces against signals from code reviews, CI failures, and production incidents.
↳ 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲. Turn those signals into proposed changes to agent skills, prompts, tools, or model selections, then check historical benchmarks for regressions.
↳ 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻. Engineers control access, govern actions, and approve changes to agent behavior. Those changes are version-controlled and auditable.
The goal: free engineering teams from 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗶𝗹 so they can build more revenue-generating software.
We couldn't do this alone. Thank you to Harpinder Singh (@hmadan) at Innovation Endeavors (@iendeavors) for leading the round, alongside Anupam Rastogi (@anupamr) at Emergent Ventures (@emergent_vc), Kim 💚 Moore (@MooreKimJ) at U&I Ventures, Amir Shevat (@ashevat) & Raphael Danilo (@raph_danilo) at Darkmode Ventures, Dheeraj Pandey (@dheeraj) & Amit Kumar at Param Hansa Values LLC, and Quang Hoang (@qhoang09) at Batch Ventures (CTO Fund).
We are also incredibly grateful for our key angel investors: Shawn Kung (@shawnykung), Sumeet Arora, Anshu Sharma (@anshublog), Savin Goyal (@SavinGoyal), and Srikant Gokulnatha (@gosrikant). Thank you for backing our vision so early.
A heartfelt thank you to our special customers: Sameer Jain at Nomura Bank, Krish Shetty at AvidXchange, and Vijay Pendyala at Empiric Earth for helping us turn our shared conviction into a product.
And to Team Autoheal: thank you for earning our customers’ trust and building an incredibly deep product in such a short time.
For leaders already expanding agentic engineering beyond coding, what gives you the confidence to trust agents with greater autonomy? I would love to hear what’s working and what’s still missing.

Not everything shows up in business metrics.
I received an email from a @rocketdotnew user that stood out - not for what it said about the product, but for what it revealed about impact. He highlighted how our product and support helped them through a difficult phase. This is the compounding value of human experience in an automated world.

Speed is no longer the problem in AI building.
On Front Page by @Analyticsindiam, Sudhi Sachdev chats with @Vishalvirani91 on why direction and decision-making matter more than ever.

Someone paid $4,200 on Day 1 of @rocketdotnew 1.0.
Annual plan. Solve + Build + Intelligence. No sales call. No discount. No free trial expiring. They watched the video, read what we shipped, and decided it was worth a year's commitment before the launch day was over.
I sat with that for a while.
Because this is a market where every AI tool is racing to be cheaper. Where growth means discounting until the unit economics break. Where "revenue marketing" means posting ARR numbers to attract more users, you'll lose in 90 days.
We went the other direction. We launched a higher-priced package. On purpose. Deep agentic capabilities cost real money to build and real money to run. We'd rather charge what the value is worth than subsidize usage and call it growth.
That's a choice most companies in PLG AI space won't make. We made it on day one and someone validated it on day one.
Now, ever since I wrote that gross margin post a few weeks ago, my DMs have been interesting. People asking where Rocket actually stands. And now after Rocket 1.0, DMs are on Is V1.0 a sign that V0 wasn't working. Whether this is just another wrapper looking for a story.
So let me be transparent.
Before Rocket 1.0 even existed, the previous version hit 8-digit annualized revenue. Real subscription money in the bank, not projections. 50%+ gross margins. 35-40% month-over-month growth. $3,000 ARPU because we focused on quality over quantity from the start.
We didn't build 1.0 because something was broken. We built it because the vision demanded more than what was already working. V1.0 was six months of building while the business was running. For everyone who thinks this is a wrapper, we'll be sharing the deep engineering behind these capabilities in the coming weeks. That conversation will be worth your time.
You won't see revenue marketing campaigns from us. Maybe we'll share numbers occasionally. No campaigns built around them. We run this business on fundamentals, not FOMO.
It's time to bring vibe into business, instead of doing vibe business. IYKYK.
Deepak Dhanak retweeted
Rocket 1.0 is live.
This is our first major step toward Vibe Solutioning.
Vibe coding solved how to build. It never solved what to build, or why. That's the harder problem and the one where most products actually fail.
@rocketdotnew connects the thinking and the building in one platform. Solve your hardest business question. Build from what you solved. Watch your competition while you work. Everything shares one context. Nothing resets between sessions.
The video and blog explain it better than I can here.

Introducing Rocket 1.0.
A single platform where business thinking, competitive intelligence, and production-grade building share one workspace and one memory. Every decision is informed. Every build starts from the full picture. Nothing is lost between steps, tools, or teams.
🔹If you are a founder, you validate before you commit.
🔹If you lead a product team, strategy and execution live in the same place for the first time.
🔹If you lead sales, you walk into every room knowing exactly what the other side is facing.
🔹If you lead marketing, the competitive signal reaches you before the campaign, not after it.
🔹If you run a business, every decision starts from a real answer instead of a best guess.
This is Vibe Solutioning. Not just better planning but also faster execution. A better starting point for everything your business builds, decides, and acts on.

Do you know you can reimagine your website with just one click?
For fun- I just gave a prompt to @rocketdotnew to reimagine your website elevarequity.com landing page.
This is the output from first prompt- no iterations
elevarequity-4d2vc33.public.…
ran the exact same prompt for my customized task manager on @rocketdotnew @Lovable and @emergentlabs .. while all of them did well, must say rocket.new stood out big time.. good stuff @Vishalvirani91 @ddhanak look fwd to more..
Most people are reacting to the “addictive” part.
The more important part is: if you know what to build.
That may be the most important line ever written about this category.
The next big unlock is not just faster building.
It’s what happens before that.
More on that soon... 😉🤐
Deepak Dhanak retweeted
The real flex isn’t building fast.
It’s building something people actually need. 🚀
In conversation with Forbes India, our Co-founder and CEO @Vishalvirani91 along with our Co-founder and COO @ddhanak spoke about the vibe coding wave, what it's unlocking for builders everywhere, and the question we think every builder should be sitting with right now. 🤔

Introducing the SEO Engine and GEO/AEO Engine in Rocket.
Every website and landing page built on Rocket can now be optimized for search visibility. From meta tags and structured data to sitemaps, robots.txt, internal linking, and semantic HTML, the SEO Engine covers full-stack search optimization in a single step. Run an audit on your live URL and Rocket fixes the issues, not just flags them. No SEO specialist needed. No manual configuration.
But Google is no longer the only search engine. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude are changing how people discover products. The GEO/AEO Engine structures your content so AI search platforms can find, understand, and cite your site.
Rocket is the only platform where you design, build content, and optimize for both Google and AI search in one place.
Design it. Write it. Rank it.
Deepak Dhanak retweeted
AI is accelerating how quickly we can turn ideas into products, and that’s incredibly powerful today. 🙌
At #HappyLlama2026, our Co-founder and CEO, @Vishalvirani91 spoke about channeling that speed into something sustainable. The real work is turning that early momentum into trust, retention, outcome-based value, and products that embed deeply into real workflows.
It's truly the era of intentional builders. 🚀
Deepak Dhanak retweeted
Great energy, even better conversations!⚡️

Roast of the year!
how to build a startup in 2026:
step 1: download @cluely. this will handle all of your business intelligence, operations, talking to customers, building, finding PMF, etc.
(their SDK is so robust and dev-native, in fact, that just wrapping cluely itself gives you a 100% viable product)
step 2: now it’s time to sit back and scale your winning product. you’ll just need @IconAdmaker to generate ads on autopilot and your growth will explode past $100M ARR in record time if you’re willing to annualize the $3 you make in 1 second while testing stripe
if you see an instagram ad for a guru who wants to help you scale your business, pay them as much as you can. they will deliver (nothing). every. single. time.
step 3: obviously, running a unicorn isn’t always easy. wherever you notice problems, just hire @Deloitte to come in and fuck shit up 100x more
also, it’s extremely important that you get into @ycombinator. without their guidance, even this expert playbook may fall flat.
when you raise a real round, be sure to give ample allocation to the slimiest early-stage “solo GP” who buddies up to you and can literally provide zero value.
the social value of being in their network will be well worth the ridiculous dilution and you will NOT look like a naïve chud for taking their money. think of it like paying millions for a friend who doesn’t like you
