Today we raised $400M at a $13.3B valuation. Since I’m feeling nostalgic, this is where it started: Three years ago, on my birthday, I wrote Lovable's first line of code. We wanted to build what we believed the future of software creation should look like. During the first year of extremely hard & dedicated work, we failed to launch our product twice. The third time, something clicked. People started creating real products with it, and inside companies, teams started building the internal tools. Within a year we'd reached millions of founders and employees at half of the Fortune 500. The growth of LovableLovable hinged on word of mouth. People suddenly had a way to act on their creative ideas, and they told other people about it. That's still true today. More than 60 million projects built, 1.2 million new ones every week, and over 900 million monthly visits to what people build. That’s an order of magnitude more than the reach of lovable itself. Though the platform evolves, our users' ambition to create has remained constant. Unleashing their ambition, removing any friction, making creation seamless, and empowering a new generation of builders is our mission. Our work is about constantly pushing the frontier of which ideas can be turned into reality. People do no longer just build their products on lovable, they run & grow their businesses. Every day, I’m grateful for this team and their hard work. ❤️🚀

Patrik "Totte" Torstensson has joined Lovable as Head of Engineering. This is a hugely important role for us, as this will directly impact the speed and quality with which we're able to improve the product. Lovable's entire 70-person Engineering team will report to Totte. Totte has led engineering at every level at Spotify, Google, and Meta. He came recommended to us by Daniel Ek and Marcus Frodín. He's also Swedish, and moving from SF to Stockholm to work from Lovable's HQ.

Nakul Narayan is joining Lovable as Head of Product. Lovable's next chapter is about helping people run and grow what they build. Nakul's spent his career helping people build things that last. Now he'll help our users do the same. Welcome to the team, Nakul.

I'm proud to see Lovable on Redpoint InfraRed 100. The list honors 100 transformative companies in cloud infrastructure. We have done a lot of work on Lovable Cloud. We've acquired, and hired some of the best talent in the world, and the platform now has capabilities for frontend, backend, database, ai inference, and more. It serves hundreds of millions of end users every month, and is hosting more than 50 million applications built by companies ranging from solo-founder startups to the largest enterprises in the world. I just asked Lovsight, our internal AI data analyst agent built by with Lovable: > How much traffic does lovable built apps have vs lovable itself? Lovable sites have 27x more traffic than lovable Glad this work is being recognized, and I consider it an absolute win that our users are driving more traffic than ourselves!

We switched our default tech stack for our users from a custom Vite setup, to TanStack Start. Our users now create over 1 million applications per week on this new tech stack. This work included reworking how we serve over 60 billion request every month. Full writeup on what changed and why: https://lnkd.in/d-YpyH5J

We released a study today that shows who is behind the more than 50M projects built on Lovable. 720M monthly visits to Lovable-built projects show that many of those ideas are reaching real audiences. Four in five Lovable users come from non-technical backgrounds, and more than half have 11+ years of professional experience. They are bringing customer knowledge, industry context, and lived experience into products they could not have built before. Many are also building with commercial intent: 55% say they are building a business, and 79% are building something they intend to monetize. People have always had ideas for what should exist, now more of them have a way to make those ideas real. Check out the report here: https://lnkd.in/dGGHYfQb

We have created over 66.8 million git repositories. We started in 2023 creating all repos on GitHub in the hot path. By 2024 we had millions of GitHub repos in one GitHub org, which broke down and resulted in a lot of attention around "Lovable bringing down GitHub": https://lnkd.in/eYEE5Nqp During the day of the incident we had a war room, and we moved to our own git-remote-s3 setup. It served us well. We have since worked in tight collaboration with Pierre to optimise the system resulting in a 230% improvement in p50 fetch latency over our s3 setup. https://lnkd.in/ehGcePE2

There is a huge services ecosystem forming around Lovable. 800,000+ people and agencies are building for clients, and 9 in 10 say they can take on more work with Lovable. The Lovable Partner Program launches today to support this growing ecosystem. The program gives builders a way to get certified and discovered, while making it easier for companies to find trusted people to build with. Lovable has changed the speed and cost of building software, making full-service businesses practical across a much broader range of use cases. more details here: https://lnkd.in/gavSscJ8
