LOVABLE JUST RAISED $400M AT A $13.3B VALUATION

  1. Stockholm-based "vibe-coding" startup Lovable raised $400 million in a Series C round
  2. The round values the company at $13.3 billion, roughly double its December valuation
  3. Menlo Ventures and EQT's Scaleup Europe Fund co-led, with Tencent and Balderton also joining

Lovable, the Stockholm-based startup that lets people build working software just by describing what they want, raised $400 million at a $13.3 billion valuation — nearly double the $6.6 billion it was valued at this past December.

// WHY_IT_MATTERS

Users have already created more than 60 million projects on Lovable's platform, and investors are betting that AI-driven app creation keeps scaling well beyond hobbyists into real, revenue-generating software.

// WHAT_TO_WATCH

Lovable says it's tracking toward a $600 million annual revenue run rate by the end of August, up from $200 million — worth watching whether that growth holds.
