Rocket
Rocket builds an AI-native platform for the entire software development lifecycle, enabling users to create production-ready web and mobile applications from simple text prompts. The company aims to empower a billion AI-native humans by 2030.
Founding Story
The company was originally founded as DhiWise on April 20, 2021 during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic by three founders who previously ran Coruscate Solutions, a software consulting company. They pivoted from DhiWise to Rocket.new in 2025, transitioning from a pro-code development platform to a fully AI-first company focused on 'vibe solutioning' - enabling users to build production-ready applications from natural language prompts. The pivot was driven by the vision to move from intent to product without brittle code or endless rework.
