Acquisition Adventure: Lovable’s Quest for Growth

Lovable, the AI-Powered App-Building Platform, Seeks Acquisitions

Lovable, the AI-powered app-building platform, which was last valued at $6.6 billion, is currently looking to expand through acquisitions. Anton Osika, the co-founder and CEO of the startup, recently announced the company’s interest in bringing more great teams and startups on board.

In a post, Osika highlighted that many key members of the Lovable team were founders before joining the company. He emphasized the company’s culture, which allows founder-types to thrive internally by acting autonomously and driving initiatives.

Osika encouraged those working on innovative projects to consider joining Lovable to continue their work at a larger scale. Interested parties were directed to contact the company’s M&A & Partnerships head, Théo Daniellot.

Lovable’s interest in acquiring teams or smaller companies comes as it faces competition from tools like Cursor, Replit, and Bolt, as well as AI models themselves. Elena Verna, the company’s head of growth, has expressed concerns about competing with larger AI labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic.

Despite these challenges, Lovable continues to experience significant growth. The company recently announced an increase in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) to $400 million, up from $200 million in 2025. Additionally, over 200,000 new vibe-coding projects are created on the platform daily.

This isn’t the first time Lovable has pursued mergers and acquisitions. In November, the company acquired cloud provider Molnett to strengthen its cloud infrastructure team.
