Vibe-coding startup Lovable is on the hunt for acquisitions

Lovable, an AI-powered app-building platform last valued at $6.6 billion, announced plans to pursue acquisitions. Co-founder and chief executive Anton Osika posted on X that the company is looking for more great teams and startups to join Lovable. Osika wrote that many people in key roles at the company were founders before joining. The firm has built its culture to let founder-types thrive The announcement comes amid competition from tools including Cursor, Replit and Bolt, as well as AI models from large labs. Head of growth Elena Verna has previously said Lovable fears competition from OpenAI and Anthropic. Lovable reported $400 million in annual recurring revenue, up from $200 million at the end of 2025. The platform now sees over 200,000 new vibe-coding projects created every day. This would not be the first acquisition for the company, which bought cloud provider Molnett in November to expand its cloud infrastructure team. Lovable told TechCrunch it prioritizes builder-first, high-agency teams with founder and operator backgrounds. Such teams move quickly, learn fast and are motivated to turn ideas into real products, the company said. When there is strong alignment, Lovable brings those teams in-house to lead key parts of its product.
