Summary

Lovable confirmed earlier reports on August 12, 2026, raising $400 million at a $13.3 billion valuation. Menlo Ventures and the Scaleup Europe Fund led the Series C, joined by more than a dozen investors. Menlo also led Lovable’s December round, when the startup raised $330 million at a $6.6 billion valuation, with CapitalG as co-lead. New investor Regent owns TechCrunch, which disclosed the relationship.

Lovable reached $500 million in annualized run rate revenue in June and now hosts 60 million projects attracting 900 million monthly visitors. The growth has increased its backend capacity and technical requirements. Lovable offers an internally trained AI model alongside frontier models, and in June signed a multiyear Google Cloud agreement increasing usage fivefold. It has also backed Danish startup Atech, which develops vibe-coding software for designing technology hardware.
