Lovable: SaaS Future Is Agent-Accessible Capabilities
Lovable, an AI-powered platform for building and hosting applications, is shifting toward enabling agent-accessible "capabilities" — discrete app functions agents can call directly via a hosted MCP server. The company, which evolved from the open-source GPT Engineer project, rebranded to Lovable in January 2025 and says it now supports large-scale production apps and internal enterprise tools. Lovable reports strong growth metrics (including a cited $500M annualized revenue run rate and broad usage across Fortune 500 companies) and this month closed a $400M Series C led by Menlo Ventures at a $13.3B valuation. The platform emphasizes connector-based security (server-side encrypted credentials and short-lived keys) to preserve user identity and permissions when exposing app capabilities to agents.
Lovable Raises $400M at $13.3B Valuation
Lovable, a European "vibe-coding" startup, confirmed a $400 million Series C at a $13.3 billion valuation led by Menlo Ventures and the Scaleup Europe Fund. The funding follows the company reaching a $500 million annualized run rate in June and builds on a prior December round that raised $330 million at a $6.6 billion valuation. Lovable says it hosts 60 million projects with 900 million monthly visitors, runs an in-house trained AI model, signed a multiyear deal to increase Google Cloud usage fivefold, and has invested in other European startups such as Danish firm Atech. One Series C investor is Regent, the investment firm that owns TechCrunch.
