Why We Built Rocket
Imagination deserves production, not just prototypes.
Six months ago, I asked the CTO of a global enterprise why his teams still build the “old” way when tools can now turn a sentence into an app. He didn’t hesitate:
“Great for mockups. Not for real work. The code doesn't hold up. The iteration loop never ends. My developers and PMs can't rely on it.”
That hit home. If we're serious about changing how the world builds, we can't just wow people in a demo, we have to make sure day two is calm, steady, and scalable. The idea of Rocket took shape that day with Vibe Solutioning as the core.
Momentum (in 15 weeks since launch)
400,000+ users across 180 countries are already shipping with Rocket.
Fortune 100 teams are piloting real deployments, not toy experiments.
Apps have gone live from shops in Brazil to agencies in Dubai and India to enterprises in the U.S.
The pattern is clear: people want speed, but only if they can trust what they ship next week.
Our Mission
Rocket exists so imagination doesn’t stall at prototypes.
Our job is simple: make it possible for anyone from a Fortune 100 PM to a two-person agency to move from intent → product without brittle code or endless rework.
The world doesn’t need more demos. It needs software that stays alive after day one.
Fuel for the Mission
Today, we're excited to share that Rocket has raised $15M in seed funding, co-led by Salesforce Ventures and Accel, with participation from Together Fund. We're grateful to Nowi Kallen and Kartik Gupta (Salesforce Ventures), Prayank Swaroop (Accel), and Subham Gupta (Together Fund) for believing not just in what we've built, but where we're headed.
This capital has one job: help us deliver the vision faster and sturdier.
Vibe Solutioning Is Born With Rocket
The last wave of tools made prototyping magical - you typed a prompt, you got a mockup. That was vibe coding. Fun, but fragile. Day two meant broken code, spiraling bug fixes, and teams that couldn’t ship with confidence.
Vibe Solutioning is different. It’s not just about a shiny first version but also about every version after:
From “can it render a screen?” → to “does it stay stable when you change it?”
From “can AI code?” → to “can AI remember your brand, your flows, your users?”
From “wow at the demo” → to “calmness and confidence on deployment day.”
In plain words: capture intent and produce a product that holds up.
What you feel as a user isn’t “AI” or “pipelines.” You feel:
- a solution that is so contextual and complete, you almost feel it read your mind,
- a build that keeps its shape when you change it,
- an interface that respects your design language,
- sensible data and connections to tools you already use,
- the ability to ship again tomorrow without drama.
Rocket understands the context and remembers what you decide- your brand, your patterns, your users, so each iteration gets steadier. Less theater. More outcomes.
Where We Are Today
A short brief (or a Figma file) becomes a working application with a clean repo, a preview, and a path to production. Teams choose Rocket because speed doesn’t come at the cost of trust.
We’re choosing restraint: no vanity features, no split focus. One job to make day two calm.
Why This Matters to Us
We felt this pain firsthand. At DhiWise (our previous avatar), developers cheered when UIs generated instantly from Figma… and then the cursed brittle scaffolding. That frustration - ours and our customers' - planted the seed for Rocket: software that stays alive after day one.
With pods across Surat and Palo Alto, we build for enterprises worldwide in real time. What we lack in proximity, we make up with hustle, a shared purpose, first principles thinking and self-belief. We are building for the world.
How We’ll Measure Ourselves
We'll measure what matters, not vanity:
- Time to first value: minutes to a multi-page app, not months.
- Retained deployments: shipped apps that stay in production.
- Completion rates: 85–90% of complex builds finished, where others stall.
- Iteration half-life: requests shipped quickly, even as scope grows.
If these dials move the right way, users feel the difference - calmer releases, fewer surprises, more confidence.
Where We’re Going
Our north star: one prompt → one fully functional, production-grade app.
Your imagination doesn’t end at prototypes. It feels live, is ready to use, and improves with every iteration or use. A platform that is ready for the enterprises of tomorrow.
