Overview

Lovable is a Stockholm-based AI software platform that helps users build applications from natural language (often called vibe-coding). On August 12, 2026 it announced a $400 million Series C at a $13.3 billion valuation led by Menlo Ventures and the Scaleup Europe Fund. The company told TechCrunch it reached $500 million annualized run-rate revenue in June 2026, hosts about 60 million projects with about 900 million monthly visitors, and signed a multiyear Google Cloud agreement. A prior December round raised $330 million at a $6.6 billion valuation, also led by Menlo with CapitalG as co-lead.

Why Lovable is interesting
