Lovable Nears 8 Million Users as It Tightens Security and Finance Systems

The year-old startup touts more than 100% net dollar retention after a $200 million round that valued it at $1.8 billion.

Overview

  • CEO Anton Osika said the Stockholm-based platform is closing in on 8 million users and sees about 100,000 new products created on Lovable each day.
  • The company has just passed the 100-employee mark, is recruiting leadership from San Francisco, and says more than half of Fortune 500 companies use its tools.
  • Responding to sector risks, Lovable is prioritizing security hires and now runs multiple checks before deployment, while advising outside experts for sensitive apps like banking.
  • CFO Matias Salonen detailed a rapid back-office overhaul, consolidating accounting and payments with Light and onboarding JP Morgan to handle the summer capital raise.
  • Lovable previously hit roughly $100 million in ARR but offered no new figure; Barclays flagged a 40% traffic drop by September, as Osika pointed to strong retention and declined to discuss rumored higher-valuation funding.
