瑞典AI初创公司Lovable通过生成式AI技术,让无代码基础的用户也能轻松创建软件,在Product Hunt和Hacker News上引起广泛关注。该公司近期完成了由Creandum领投的1600万美元pre-Series A轮融资,并展示了令人瞩目的增长数据。Lovable的平台允许用户构建可用于生产的软件,无需编码知识即可创建原型和网站,其GPT Engineer功能甚至能发布全功能Web应用程序。目前,Lovable拥有50万用户,每天构建超过25,000个新产品,已实现1700万美元的年度经常性收入(ARR),拥有30,000名付费客户。

💡Lovable是一家瑞典AI初创公司,旨在通过生成式AI技术赋能非程序员用户轻松创建软件,其核心在于降低软件开发的门槛,让更多人能够参与到应用开发中来。

🚀Lovable平台的核心功能包括原型设计、网站构建以及通过GPT Engineer发布全功能Web应用程序。用户无需具备编码知识,只需通过提示即可完成软件创建。

💰Lovable平台已拥有50万用户,每天构建超过25,000个新产品,并实现了1700万美元的年度经常性收入(ARR)。这使其成为欧洲增长最快的初创公司之一,且仅花费了200万美元的资本支出。

🤝Lovable计划扩展与第三方服务的集成,包括Supabase用于数据库和GitHub用于代码存储,进一步完善其平台功能,为用户提供更全面的开发支持。

Using generative AI to create software has been possibly the largest use case since it first appeared a couple years ago. But platforms like Cursor and Copilot are mostly confined to a world inhabited by trained engineers. 

Lovable, a Swedish AI startup, reached the front page of both Product Hunt and Hacker News last year after allowing anyone to create apps very easily, just using prompting. It’s now raised $16 million in a pre-Series A round led by Creandum and revealed some impressive growth figures. 

Lovable enables anyone to build what it calls production-ready software without needing coding knowledge. In addition to building prototypes and websites, it’s GPT Engineer can ship fully functional web apps.

It now claims to have 500,000 users who are building over 25,000 new products daily.

As a European alternative to U.S.-based AI coding tools, Lovable says it has now reached $17 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), after scaling to 30,000 paying customers. This would objectively make it one of the fastest-growing startups in Europe.

Lovable reported achieving this milestone with only $2 million in capital expenditure. This, after raising a modest €6.8 million pre-seed funding round last October, led by Hummingbird Ventures and byFounders (an angel syndicate). 

Founder Anton Osika told TechCrunch the platform is different to competing AI-driven code-building platforms in that it’s “the best way to get something that actually works.”

He said the platform is using a combination of OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic, distilled into a platform that can generate the software. 

“We’ve seen hundreds of commercial apps built on the platform, at least 25,000,” he said. 

Osika — who co-founded Lovable with Fabian Hedin — said he came up with the idea for Lovable when working on Depict.ai in 2023. Depict is formerly a YC-backed company that went on to raise $20 million in investment from Garry Tan’s Initialized Capital, EQT Ventures, Northzone, and others. It applies ML in the realm of e-commerce store.

Osika’s previous experience also includes developing the interface for the computer used by world-famous physicist Stephen Hawking and working with ex-SpaceX engineers on wheelchair technology. 

“I saw there’s something even larger I can do here, giving the 99% of the population who don’t know how to code access to a software engineer through AI,” Osika told TechCrunch.

Lovable now plans to expand its integration with third-party services, including Supabase for databases and GitHub for code storage.

In a statement, Fredrik Cassel, general partner at Creandum, said: “I haven’t seen this level of user love for a product since we invested in Spotify. It’s truly astounding. Lovable has the potential to become one of Europe’s next generational companies in this new era of AI.”

Also in the funding round were angel investors, including Charlie Songhurst (Meta board), Adam D’Angelo and Thomas Wolf (Hugging Face), and Eric Bernhardsson (Modal).
