Lovable Labs, a Swedish AI coding startup founded in 2023, has raised $400 million at a $13.3 billion valuation, exactly doubling its December valuation of $6.6 billion.
The platform generates code from plain-language descriptions and has built over 60 million projects, drawing 900 million visits per month, with annualized revenue reaching $500 million in June and projected to hit $600 million by end of August.
Nearly two-thirds of Fortune 500 employees now use the product, though enterprise contracts account for only about $20 million of revenue, leaving most of the business concentrated among individual and small-team users.
What happened
Swedish AI coding startup Lovable raised $400 million in Series C funding, doubling its valuation from $6.6 billion in December to $13.3 billion. The platform lets users describe what they want in plain language and builds it automatically, with hosting included.
Why it matters
Lovable has hit $500 million in annualized revenue as of June, up from $200 million in November 2025, and expects to reach $600 million by end of August. Employees at nearly two-thirds of the Fortune 500 now use the product, including Nvidia, Adidas, Hearst, and Zendesk—though enterprise accounts still represent only about $20 million of annualized revenue, meaning the business is predominantly driven by individual and small-team subscriptions.
What to watch
The $400 million will fund deeper enterprise integrations, governance and permissions controls, and training of Lovable's own AI models. The company plans to grow headcount by about 50% to roughly 450 staff by year's end, with most hiring in machine learning, product, infrastructure, and security, and will expand offices in London, Boston, San Francisco, and New York alongside its Stockholm headquarters.
Lovable Labs Inc., a Swedish artificial intelligence coding startup, announced today that it has closed a Series C funding round of $400 million at a $13.3 billion valuation, exactly double its December valuation of $6.6 billion. The company was founded in 2023 by Chief Executive Anton Osika and Fabian Hedin, and the product opened to the public in November 2024.
Lovable's core offering is a "vibe coding" service in which users describe what they want in plain language and the platform automatically builds it, with hosting included. Since its public launch, the platform has been used to build more than 60 million projects, which together draw 900 million visits per month. Lovable reports that nearly eight in 10 of its users are building a business or side project they intend to monetize, and that more than a third of those users are already earning revenue from their projects.
The company's revenue growth has been steep. Annualized revenue reached $500 million in June, up from $200 million in November 2025, and Lovable expects to end August at $600 million. Enterprise adoption is advancing but remains a smaller portion of the overall revenue: employees at nearly two-thirds of the Fortune 500 now use the product—up from about half six months ago—and named customers include Nvidia Corp., Adidas AG, Hearst Communications Inc., and Zendesk Inc. However, enterprise contracts still account for only about $20 million of annualized revenue, leaving most of the business with individuals and small teams paying by subscription.
The new capital will be deployed toward deeper enterprise integrations, governance and permissions controls, and further training of Lovable's in-house models. The company also plans to grow its headcount by about 50% to roughly 450 staff by year's end, with most hiring focused on machine learning, product, infrastructure, and security. Lovable will simultaneously expand its office footprint in London, Boston, San Francisco, and New York alongside its Stockholm headquarters.
The Series C was co-led by Menlo Ventures and the Scaleup Europe Fund, a European Commission-backed vehicle managed by Swedish investment firm EQT AB. First-time investors included Balderton Capital, Carmignac, Kaszek Ventures, LTS Growth, Tencent Holdings Ltd., World Innovation Lab, and Regent. Returning backers included Accel, Antler, CapitalG, DST Global, Evantic Capital, HubSpot Ventures, and Salesforce Ventures. Menlo had co-led Lovable's $330 million Series B in December, and Accel had led the $200 million Series A at a $1.8 billion valuation in July 2025. Including the new funding, Lovable has raised more than $930 million to date.
Lovable's Series C round reflects a sharp inflection in developer-facing AI tooling: a platform that simplifies code generation through conversational interfaces has reached unicorn scale ($13.3 billion valuation) in less than a year of public availability. The doubling of valuation in six months signals investor confidence in the core product-market fit—more than 60 million projects built, 900 million monthly visits, and $500 million annualized revenue by June all demonstrate traction among makers and small teams.
The enterprise picture is more nascent. While nearly two-thirds of Fortune 500 employees now use Lovable (up from about half six months ago), enterprise contracts contribute only $20 million of the $500 million annualized revenue total. This gap suggests that the product has achieved viral adoption at the user level but has not yet consolidated into large, committed enterprise deals; the new funding explicitly targets deeper enterprise integrations and governance controls, indicating that Lovable views the Fortune 500 opportunity as still largely in front of it.
The capital deployment—toward in-house model training, governance, infrastructure, and a 50% headcount expansion—signals a pivot from bottleneck-solving to building defensible capabilities. Lovable is betting that proprietary AI models and operational depth will sustain its position as competitors enter the vibe-coding space.
