Manav Garg, cofounder and managing partner of early-stage venture firm Together Fund, has joined artificial intelligence startup Emergent as executive chairman, marking a return to an operating role after years in venture investing, he announced in a social media post on Thursday.
Emergent is backed by Together Fund.
Freshworks founder Girish Mathrubootham has also joined Emergent’s board as a representative of Together Fund, which he founded along with Garg, Shubham Gupta and Avinash Raghava in 2021. The AI- and software-focused investment firm was launched with a maiden fund of $85 million, which was followed by a $150 million vehicle in 2023.
At the AI startup, Garg will work closely with cofounders Mukund Jha and Madhav Jha on strategy, scaling, partnerships, governance and long-term building.
