Vibe-coding startup Lovable is on the hunt for acquisitions

LongbridgeAII'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.

Lovable, an AI-powered app-building platform valued at $6.6 billion, is seeking acquisitions to enhance its growth amid competition from other coding tools and AI models. CEO Anton Osika announced on X that the company is looking for talented teams and startups to join, emphasizing a culture that supports founder-types. Lovable has reported significant growth, with $400 million in annual recurring revenue and over 200,000 new projects daily. This follows a previous acquisition of cloud provider Molnett to strengthen its infrastructure.

Lovable, the AI-powered app-building platform last valued at $6.6 billion, is on the hunt for acquisitions. On Monday, the startup’s co-founder and CEO, Anton Osika, announced on X that the company was looking for “more great teams and startups to join Lovable.”

“Many of the people in key roles at Lovable were founders right before joining us,” he wrote in a post. “We’ve built our culture in a way that makes founder-types thrive internally, being able to act autonomously and drive initiatives.”

Osika suggested that the opportunity would allow those working on interesting projects to continue to do so at scale and directed interested parties to reach out to the company’s M&A & Partnerships head, Théo Daniellot.

Lovable’s desire to acquire teams or smaller companies arrives at a time when it’s racing against competition from other tools such as Cursor, Replit, Bolt, as well as the coding powers of the AI models themselves. The company’s head of growth, Elena Verna, has previously said that Lovable fears the competition from those larger AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic.

Despite these fears, Lovable is still seeing noteworthy growth, recently reporting that it now has $400 million in ARR, up from $200 million at the end of 2025. It also now sees over 200,000 new vibe-coding projects created on the platform every day.

This wouldn’t be the first time Lovable has engaged in M&A, having previously acquired the cloud provider Molnett in November to grow its cloud infrastructure team.

TechCrunch reached out to Lovable to see if the company would share more about the types of startups, projects, or teams it’s currently interested in.
