Lovable just raised $200M at a $1.8B valuation led by Accel.
This all started unexpectedly with me calling my friend at 6AM to go for a walk.
I've never shared this story before: (thread)
Lovable just crossed $100M ARR in 8 months.
Faster than OpenAI, Cursor, Wiz, and every other software company in history.
Today we're launching a game-changing update, it reduces the error rates by 91%.
Introducing Lovable Agent:
1. Be Replit founder
2. Have a decade-long head start
3. Watch small EU competitor, Lovable, surpass you in usage and making vibe coding secure
4. Copy it 4 weeks later
5. Bash Lovable for not being secure
Incredible leadership.
I usually don't give out lovable credits, but for Mila I personally added more than enough credits to her account so she can continue building her product.
For context, we launched "Dev Mode" to Lovable a few weeks ago that lets you edit the code of your Lovable project.
Dev Mode is a common feature name used by companies like Wix, Atlassian, Figma, Shopify and many more.
Now Figma claims we need to remove all mentions of Dev Mode
The lovable team:
+ almost no alcohol
+ daily optimized healthy meals (lunch & dinner delivered)
+ office gym, most of us workout daily
+ sleep and recovery prioritized
