Investors are loving Lovable

In Brief Investors are clambering to get onto Swedish vibe-coding startup Lovable’s cap table, making unsolicited offers of investment that value the company at more than $4 billion, reports Financial Times. Lovable CEO Anton Osika isn’t currently engaging with the flurry of inbound, the Times says, which comes a few weeks after the startup announced a $200 million round at a $1.8 billion valuation in a deal led by Accel. A Lovable spokesperson told the outlet the company isn’t fundraising now

AI website builder Lovable increasingly abused for malicious activity

Cybercriminals are increasingly abusing the AI-powered Lovable website creation and hosting platform to generate phishing pages, malware-dropping portals, and various fraudulent websites. The malicious sites created through the platform impersonate large and recognizable brands, and feature traffic filtering systems like CAPTCHA to keep bots out. While Lovable has taken steps to better protect its platform from abuse, as AI-powered site generators increase in number, the barrier to entering cy

Eight months in, Swedish unicorn Lovable crosses the $100M ARR milestone

Less than a week after it became Europe’s latest unicorn, Swedish vibe coding startup Lovable is now also a centaur — a company with more than $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). Lovable took only eight months since its launch to get here, thanks to the skyrocketing popularity of its AI-powered website and app builder. The startup claims it now has more than 2.3 million active users, and last reported 180,000 paying subscribers. With only 45 full-time employees, and 14 open positio

Lovable becomes a unicorn with $200M Series A just 8 months after launch

Fast-growing Swedish AI vibe coding startup Lovable has become Europe’s latest unicorn. Only eight months since its launch, the startup has raised a $200 million Series A round led by Accel at a $1.8 billion valuation. Like Cursor and other platforms that help developers write code and build apps by harnessing the coding and reasoning abilities of large language models, Stockholm-based Lovable helps people use natural language to create websites and apps. The startup’s trajectory so far has cha

Lovable on track to raise $150M at $2B valuation

Lovable, one of the darlings of the vibe coding world and one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI startups, is working on raising a fresh round of over $150 million at a near $2 billion valuation, the Financial Times reports. The raise and giant step-up in valuation comes just months after the Swedish startup raised a $15 million round led by Creandum in February. The company described that round to TechCrunch as “pre-series A,” but with numbers this large, it’s safe to say that Lovable has jumped f

Is Lovable getting monetization wrong?

“I remember we were building a micro-app like that and it took at least a month, now it takes 3 minutes.” I messaged a colleague after trying out Lovable and sharing what I (it?) made. “It’s truly shocking” he responded. Using Lovable for the first time was like taking my first Waymo ride. At first, it was mind-blowing (I had no idea this was possible!) and then unremarkable (yep, that v1 works like a v1, as if I handed it to an engineer). Vibe-coding is one of the trending topics in tech. In
