The Rundown: Only eight months after writing its first line of code, Swedish vibe coding platform Lovable has grabbed a mammoth $200M Series A, slingshotting it to a $1.8B valuation and making it Europe’s buzziest new unicorn.

The details:

Lovable has already scaled to 2.3M active users, making it one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI startups. The company lets users with no coding skills create full-fledged websites and apps simply by describing them in natural language prompts. While millions use Lovable for free, 180K users pay for advanced features, bringing in $75M in annual recurring revenue after just seven months. Now, it plans to double down on hiring world-class talent, expand its AI capabilities, and launch partnerships to integrate more deeply with toolchains.

Why it matters: In a category with fierce contenders like Cursor and Replit, Lovable’s $200M Series A — Europe’s largest ever for an AI coding startup — is remarkable not just for its scale but for how quickly the company achieved a $1.8B valuation — less than a year after launching its platform and with just 45 employees.
