Lovable valuation and funding history
Stockholm, founded 2023
Lovable started as an open source side project. Three years later it had raised more than $950M and was valued at $13.3 billion, from an office in Sweden. Here is the whole funding history, and what it means for wherever you are sitting right now.
In mid 2023 Anton Osika put a project called GPT Engineer on GitHub. It was open source, it was free, and it let you describe software and watch it get built. It went straight to the top of GitHub and collected tens of thousands of stars.
He and Fabian Hedin turned it into Lovable and launched the product in late 2024. No Bay Area move, no US incorporation story, no warm intro chain. The proof was already public: people were using the thing every day and telling each other about it.

What the numbers say
Twenty-two months separate a pre-seed in Stockholm from a $13.3 billion valuation, and nobody involved needed to be in California. Growth came at the same pace: Lovable says it passed $100M of annualised revenue about eight months after launch, and was nearing eight million users by late 2025. Those are the company's own numbers rather than audited accounts, so treat them as a direction rather than a certificate. The funding is independently reported, and it moved just as fast.
What this means for your raise
- 01
Your postcode is not the constraint
Four rounds, four different firms, none of which required the founders to relocate. The idea that serious money only lands within an hour of Sand Hill Road stopped being true, and it stopped being true recently.
- 02
Shipping in public is fundraising
GPT Engineer was free and open before it was a company. By the time investors looked, the traction was already public and countable. Building where people can see it is the cheapest fundraising work you will ever do.
- 03
Speed comes from being in the conversation
Their pre-seed closed in October 2024 and their Series C closed twenty-two months later, five rounds in. That only happens if you are talking to investors continuously rather than in one annual sprint.
Every one of these started with a first investor conversation.
