What Happened

Lovable, a Stockholm-based AI startup, is in talks to raise funding at a $12 billion valuation, nearly doubling its previous $6.6 billion valuation from December. The company, which allows users to create apps and websites through prompts, has reached $400 million in annual recurring revenue as of February.

Who Is Affected

Lovable’s user base includes 8 million individuals, from hobbyists to entrepreneurs, and enterprises like Uber, HubSpot, and Microsoft. However, enterprise customers currently account for only $20 million of its ARR.

Market Impact

• Lovable’s rapid growth highlights the increasing demand for AI-driven software development tools.
• The company’s partnership with Google Cloud for Gemini models and computing power positions it for further scalability.
• This funding round places Lovable among other high-growth AI startups like Cursor, Replit, and Cognition.
