Lovable raises $400 million in Series C funding at $13.3 billion valuation

Vibe-coding platform Lovable has raised $400 million in Series C funding at a $13.3 billion valuation, the company announced August 12. The company also revealed a partnership with AI infrastructure provider Cerebras to accelerate inference processing, alongside new platform features targeting enterprise development teams.

Lovable lets users build full-stack web applications by describing what they want in plain English, combining AI code generation with real-time collaboration and project sharing. Customers include Adidas, Deutsche Telekom, NVIDIA, Udacity, and Workday.

New capabilities for production apps

The funding round, led by Menlo Ventures and co-led by the Scaleup Europe Fund managed by EQT, included participation from Balderton Capital, Carmignac, Kaszek Ventures, LTS Growth, Tencent, World Innovation Lab, and Regent.

Alongside the funding, Lovable introduced built-in payment functionality powered by Paddle and Stripe, SEO and AI-search tools integrated with Semrush, and deeper integrations with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and ElevenLabs. The company also added automatic scheduled security scanning, publishing controls, abandoned app clean-up, and workspace insights. A dedicated security page shows which controls are active for each app.

Lovable is the first AI coding platform to receive AIUC-1 certification, a security standard built for AI agents based on input from Stanford, MIT, MITRE, and the Cloud Security Alliance.

Why this matters for IT and development teams

For IT and development professionals, Lovable's funding signals that enterprise demand for generative code platforms is accelerating - but the real shift is in the platform's addition of governance, security scanning, and publishing controls. These features directly address the operational concerns that have kept many IT teams from deploying vibe-coding tools in production environments, potentially opening AI for IT & Development use cases that require compliance and audit trails.
