Author: Stephane at Lovable

Big news—We just secured a funding round led by Creandum, with backing from top industry figures like Charlie Songhurst (Meta board), Thomas Wolf (Huggingface) and a dozen tech CEOs.

Why? Because we're redefining how software is built.

AI-Powered Software Development—For Everyone

Imagine if you had a full-stack engineer, UX designer, product manager, and backend developer—all in one AI-powered tool.

That’s exactly what Lovable delivers.

  • Founders can launch startups without hiring a dev team.
  • Product designers can skip Figma and go straight to prototyping.
  • Sales teams can demo live features instantly, no engineering needed.

Building software has never been this effortless.

From Zero to Market Leader in Record Time

In just three months, we've achieved:

  • $17M in annual recurring revenue (ARR)
  • 30,000+ paying customers
  • 25,000 new projects created every day
  • 1.2M+ apps built since launch

The result? We’re outpacing every other AI-driven development tool. Our growth is so fast it nearly brought down GitHub!

Investors are already comparing us to early-stage Spotify, believing Lovable will define the AI software engineering category.

AI-Driven Software Development: A Paradigm Shift

Lovable isn’t just about writing code—it’s about making software creation accessible to everyone.

Who’s using it?

  • Solo entrepreneurs turning ideas into businesses without technical barriers.
  • Product designers skipping the usual toolchain and going straight to functional prototypes.
  • Sales teams building and showcasing interactive product features live.

A Relentless Team, Redefining Software Development

What’s most impressive? The speed of execution.

In just a few months, our 15-person team, led by Anton Osika and Fabian Hedin, has built what may be Europe’s fastest-growing AI startup. Our deep technical expertise and AI-native approach make Lovable a global contender in AI-driven development.

Europe’s Answer to AI Innovation

For years, people have debated whether Europe can compete with the U.S. and China in AI.

We're proving that world-class AI companies can emerge from Europe—and win on the global stage.

With Lovable, software development is being democratized. Anyone, regardless of technical background, can bring their ideas to life.

Final Thoughts: The Future is Lovable

This isn’t just another AI-powered tool—it’s a fundamental shift in how software is built.

With record-breaking growth, overwhelming user love, and a team that executes at an insane pace, we’re setting the stage for a new era of product development.
