What is Lovable's recent funding achievement and valuation?

Jaeden Schafer 0:00
My personal favorite vibe coding startup, Lovable, has raised $330 million at a $6.6 billion valuation. This is absolutely massive for a company that is like almost a year old. They have had an absolutely incredible run up. And I understand why they've been able to raise this money as someone who is a really loyal user and has been super impressed with their product. I'll give you a little bit of a perspective of where I think this is going in the future, how they're able to grow so fast, why they've been able to raise so much money and what the future of lovable is with this new $330 million. Before we get into that, I would love for you to try my new AI app and tool builder called AI box. You can go check it out on AI box.ai.

You can create any sort of tool or workflow, it will automatically link together multiple AI models will fill out a prompt with AI for you and have it automate different processes and workflows that you might do and create full tools.

How has Lovable's valuation changed in the past few months?

Jaeden Schafer 0:58
There's lots of exciting things that we'll be doing with it in the future. And in addition, we have a playground where you can try over 40 of the top models all for 20 bucks a month, you can build tools, try models, go check out AI box.ai. All right, let's get into what's going on with lovable. So this is a Swedish startup. They have more than tripled their valuation in just five months, which I think really shows how much their investors are excited for this company. It's based out of Stockholm, and they've just raised their Series B, which is $330 million. It was led by Capital G and Menlo Ventures. And like I mentioned, it has a $6.6 billion valuation. Coastal Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, Databricks Ventures, all of those were in on this deal.
Jaeden Schafer 1:41
So you have all of the top tier investors. This new round is only a few months after they raised a $200 million Series A round in July that gave them a $1.8 billion valuation. And now they're already at a $6.6 billion valuation. I think one of the earliest startups to really capitalize on AI boom was Lovable. They had a platform that let you build software and complete applications using text prompts. Now, When they first started, when I first started using lovable, it wasn't very good at building actual tools that could complete tasks. And they have come a long way. So when I was originally using it, I mean, I've spent, you know, $1,000 a month on lovable in the past, depending on projects that I'm working on.
Jaeden Schafer 2:23
If you go to AI box.ai, that entire homepage was created using lovable. I'm not a developer. And instead of using a designer, I'm able to get basically chat with lovable and have it create a design that I love. that looks exactly like what I want it to do. And so as far as the front end UI and stuff, I would I'll usually go and get lovable to create a design for me. And I give that to my developers who are working on the back end. And I can give them the code so they instantly can integrate in the past, I used to have to do basically the same process, but I'd be talking with a designer on a call or they would get something done and get it back to me and i'd have to make iterations and tell them to make updates and changes and once the design was done with the designer on figla we'd hand that off to the front end developers and they would spend time trying to get that to actually look good with code and so it was quite a process with lovable i talked to lovable about what i wanted to do i give it you know i in natural language chat with it about the updates and the style designs and the things that i want

And then it creates it has the code. One thing that we've done that has made this like super, super easy is my our development team will give me like the libraries that we use, and the you know, the types of code that you know, that are allowed. I will just tell lovable, like only use these packages. Don't add any new packages.

What features and integrations are planned for Lovable's future?

Jaeden Schafer 3:41
Only use these libraries. And it will do the whole thing with kind of the limitations you give it. It will design all of that. And then when you have to put the code into your code base,
