– Lovable has achieved rapid growth, with annual recurring revenues exceeding $100 million and over 10 million projects built on its platform.

The tech investment world is buzzing over Lovable, a Swedish startup specializing in vibe-coding that has captured extraordinary investor enthusiasm. Despite recently closing a substantial funding round, the company continues to receive unsolicited offers valuing it at more than $4 billion, according to a recent Financial Times report.
Anton Osika, the CEO of Lovable, has so far declined to engage with the surge of inbound investment interest. This comes just weeks after the company secured a $200 million funding round led by Accel, which valued the startup at $1.8 billion. A company spokesperson confirmed that Lovable is not currently seeking additional capital, reinforcing that the business is focused on growth rather than further fundraising.
Lovable’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. In under a year since its launch, the platform has attracted more than 10 million projects and surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue. This explosive growth underscores the strong market demand for its innovative approach to vibe-coding.
The broader sector is also heating up, with investor appetite for vibe-coding platforms reaching new heights. In a similar vein, Anysphere, known for its cursor technology, raised $900 million in May, a round that more than tripled its valuation to $9 billion. This trend highlights a growing belief among investors that next-generation coding tools represent a major growth area.
