Investors are rapidly flocking to Lovable, a Swedish AI-powered "vibe coding" startup, pushing its valuation beyond $4 billion just nine months after its launch. The surge in investor interest follows Lovable’s announcement of annual recurring revenues (ARR) surpassing $130 million and more than 10 million projects built on its platform, underscoring the company's explosive growth in the AI software development space.

Founded in 2023 by Anton Osika and Fabian Hedin in Stockholm, Lovable specializes in enabling rapid software development through AI-assisted natural language coding. The platform allows users—from non-technical individuals to professional developers—to create fully functional web and mobile applications by simply describing their ideas, supported by AI tools that generate, refine, and debug code. This approach, known as "vibe coding," emphasizes fast, iterative experimentation and has resonated strongly with a broad user base[1][4].

Lovable’s impressive revenue milestones have fueled the valuation jump. In July 2025, the company reported $130 million in ARR with a lean team of just 60 employees, translating to approximately $2.2 million in revenue per employee annually—highlighting remarkable operational efficiency[2]. Earlier in July, Lovable had announced a $200 million funding round valuing the company at $1.8 billion, led by Accel and supported by returning investors such as Creandum, 20VC, and ByFounders[1][4]. However, unsolicited investment offers have since poured in, pushing the valuation well beyond $4 billion, although the company is not currently seeking new funding and is not engaging with these offers[1].

The startup’s business model centers on a freemium subscription approach with tiered plans—Free, Pro, and Teams—catering to a range of users from individual creators to enterprise clients. This flexibility supports wide adoption and strong retention rates above 85%, contributing to the rapid revenue growth[3]. Lovable is also shifting focus towards expanding its enterprise customer base, aiming to further solidify its position in the competitive AI development tools market[2].

With a rapidly growing user base exceeding 180,000 paying subscribers and a platform that supports seamless integration with design tools like Figma, Lovable is redefining the future of software development by democratizing the process through AI[4].
