Lovable in Talks for $300 Million Round at $13.2 Billion Valuation—Double December Level

Swedish startup Lovable, developer of an AI platform for vibe coding—creating applications from text descriptions without manual code writing—is in talks to raise $300 million at a $13.2 billion post-money valuation. According to Sifted, citing two sources familiar with the deal's progress.

What is known about the negotiations

According to Sifted's sources, the round is still in the discussion stage rather than a closed deal, so the final amount and valuation may change before documents are signed.

• Discussed round size — $300 million
• Expected company valuation — $13.2 billion post-money
• Information source — Sifted publication citing two informed people
• Company — Swedish startup Lovable, specialization — vibe coding

How Lovable's valuation grew

The new valuation roughly doubles the December 2025 level, when Lovable closed its Series B round at $330 million for a $6.6 billion valuation. If current negotiations conclude on the stated terms, the company's value will double in less than seven months—a rare growth pace even by recent AI market standards.

Vibe coding is a category of AI tools that allows describing a desired application in plain language, with the model generating and refining the code itself. Over the past year, this niche has become one of the most capital-intensive in the AI industry: investors are betting that such platforms will fundamentally change the software development process and lower the barrier to entry for non-programmers.

What it means

Lovable's negotiations for a round with a doubled valuation show that investor interest in vibe coding has not cooled, and capital continues to flow into the category at accelerated rates—even though the deal itself is not yet closed and its parameters may change.
