Introducing the Lovable Partner Program

Introducing the Lovable Partner Program

Today, we’re formally launching the Lovable Partner Program to help experts and solution providers grow their businesses, while giving companies a trusted way to find partners who can build what they need and transform how their teams operate.

The dominant story about AI and work has been one of displacement, with technology taking jobs and leaving people behind. Yet a new category of work is emerging around the people who know how to put AI to use, creating new paths to income, entrepreneurship, and job creation as companies rethink how services are delivered.

The demand is growing alongside them. According to McKinsey’s 2026 State of AI report, nearly nine in ten companies now use AI somewhere in their business, but fewer than half have rolled it out across the organization and just over a third say it has improved their bottom line. As companies look for help turning their AI ambitions into software, experts and solution providers that know how to build with Lovable are becoming increasingly valuable.

In other words, the Lovable Partner Program formalizes a market that has already taken off. More than 800,000 individuals and agencies use Lovable for client work, from websites to enterprise transformation programs, and our data study from this spring shows that client work is already a source of income for more than 15% of users who aim to make money. Momentum is only accelerating: in the past two months alone, 500+ Solution Partners including Deutsche Telekom and KPMG have signed agreements and begun certification ahead of this launch.

The Lovable Partner Program supports both the people building with Lovable and the clients looking to hire them. It includes:

  1. Experts: Independent builders and small agencies who create software for clients.
  2. Solution Partners: Agencies, consultancies, and systems integrators that deliver larger or more complex solutions.
  3. Partner Directory: A new way for organizations to discover and hire Experts and Solution Partners.

We surveyed people using Lovable to build for others to find out more.* A few themes stood out:

  • For many, building with Lovable has become a career: a quarter of builders who get paid to build for others say client work is most or all of their income, and half say it provides meaningful side income. Since starting, they have launched companies, gone freelance, cut hours at other jobs, or left them entirely.
  • The path to real income is relatively short: nearly two-thirds of paid builders landed their first client within three months, and more than a third within a month.
  • Prior experience is not a prerequisite: more than a third of respondents had never made software before using Lovable, yet they are just as likely to earn most or all of their income from client work as those who came in with a freelancer or agency background.
  • Their services are generating demand that would not otherwise exist: people report that one in five client projects would not have happened at all without them, and another 14% would have gone ahead only in a more limited form.
  • Client builders use Lovable to expand their scope: Nearly 9 in 10 paid builders say Lovable lets them take on client work they couldn't do before. Builders expand their scope beyond websites, building things like business operations systems, SaaS products, AI automations, analytics tools, portals, and booking systems.
  • This is a global movement: respondents span 139 countries, and 81% are based outside the United States. The largest client group is local small businesses, companies that have traditionally never had a path to custom software.

Here’s how the Lovable Partner Program works

Experts: build credibility and grow your business

The Expert track is designed for independent experts and small agencies building websites, apps, client portals, internal tools, and automations for others.

  • Build credibility through real work. Certification is based on projects an expert has actually shipped. Certified experts receive a verified profile where prospective clients can see the work behind their credentials.
  • Earn from the business they bring to Lovable. Experts can receive a 10% commission on Business plan accounts they refer. A Pro plan is all they need to participate.
  • Get discovered by clients ready to build. Certified experts can be listed in the Lovable directory, where high-intent clients can review their work and contact them directly.

Solution Partners: scale your services with Lovable behind you

The Solution Partner track is designed for established solution providers pursuing larger engagements and business transformation programs.

  • Lead transformation, not just delivery. Partners can architect and deliver mission-critical, business-wide change clients are asking for backed by Lovable’s platform.
  • Earn alongside the businesses they help grow. Partners can receive up to 20% commission on referred enterprise deals across three tiers, in addition to the services revenue they retain, as well as 10% commission on every Business subscription they sell.
  • Get a team behind their team. Partners receive dedicated support, including a Partner Development Manager, a partner support inbox, and access to Lovable’s teams.
  • Stand out as they grow. Certified partner status and directory placement help partners establish credibility, with greater prominence available as their partnership develops.
  • Work with Lovable on larger opportunities. Partners can co-sell with our team and bring Lovable into more ambitious client engagements.

Companies: find trusted partners who can support your goals

Whatever you want to accomplish, the Partner Program helps you find someone with the right expertise to move the work forward.

  • Find the right partner for the job. Whether the need is a website, app, booking system, client portal, or internal tool, clients can browse experts based on the problems they solve.
  • Review real work before committing. Every verified profile includes projects the partner has built and shipped on Lovable.
  • Contact partners directly. Clients choose who they want to work with and manage the relationship directly.
  • Own what gets built. Once the project is complete, clients can continue working with the partner, pay a retainer for updates, hand it to someone else, or take over the project themselves.

Meet the people turning building into a business

The people building for clients with Lovable come from remarkably different backgrounds. Some have spent decades working in technology, while others started by solving a problem for one local business. What connects them is the ability to understand what a client needs and turn it into software.

  • Imaginary Space: From a young age, Harry McKay Roper was making video games and hoping to become a programmer. After an early agency internship left him burned out, he moved into design but never lost the desire to build. With Lovable, he found a way to bring both skills together and has since grown Imaginary Space from a one-person business earning $5,000 to $10,000 a month into an 18-person agency with $1.2 million in ARR, more than 300 client projects, and customers ranging from Dude Wipes to the UK government.
  • O3 World: At this 50-person digital consultancy, Justin Handler and his team began using Lovable to build custom software for the business, including a resource-planning app that now saves the company roughly $35,000 a year. He and the team then began applying the same approach to client work, building custom business reviews, intake experiences, and analytics products. O3 estimates it can now deliver custom client experiences 50–70% faster, while certain client-facing deliverables require 30–50% less design and development effort.
  • J&T Promotions: Jonathan Tembo and Thomas Maudsley started with £300 websites while university students, and growth came fast: thirty clients became 450+ in under a year, and two part-time founders became 15 full-time employees. They then added a third co-founder, Antoine Mauger, and the work grew more complex, spanning booking systems, CRMs, analytics dashboards, invoicing tools, and the internal platform running nearly every part of the operation.
  • CoBuild Agency: Mark Miller has spent 25 years at the intersection of creativity and entrepreneurship. Through CoBuild Agency, he helps high-profile creators like Karlie Kloss and Steve Aoki turn ideas into products, including Cardhouse, a trading-card app he built for Aoki.
  • Fireline IT: After a 21-year career in systems architecture, Tim Jackson now runs a four-person managed IT and custom software business serving medical and first-responder organizations. His team builds incident management tools for global disasters and search missions.

The Lovable Partner Program formalizes what has already been growing organically across our community. The program gives experts and solution providers more ways to demonstrate their expertise, reach new clients, and grow their book of business. For companies, it opens up access to people who can help them act on the opportunities and problems they already see. Together, these shifts point to a more optimistic future of work.
