Sekai, a startup building what amounts to a TikTok-style feed of user-generated mini-apps, has closed a $20 million Series A round to expand its AI-powered creation platform. The company lets anyone, regardless of technical skill, build playable apps in seconds using nothing more than text prompts.
The round brings Sekai’s total funding to approximately $30 million, with backing from a roster of heavyweight venture firms including Khosla Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Mayfield, and A*.
Nearly a million apps in two months
Within two months of launching its AI-driven creation tools, Sekai’s platform hosted nearly 1 million mini-apps. Users generated roughly half a million apps per month, spanning games, utilities, and social tools.
The platform works through AI-powered coding agents that translate plain-language descriptions into functional, interactive applications. A user might type something like “make a quiz about 90s movies” or “build a split-the-bill calculator,” and Sekai’s system handles the rest.
