According to Sifted's sources, the round is still under discussion and is not a closed deal, so the final amount and valuation may change before the documents are signed.

• Round size under discussion: $300 million
• Expected valuation: $13.2 billion post-money

• Company: Swedish startup Lovable, focused on vibe coding

How Lovable's valuation has grown

The new valuation is roughly double the December 2025 level, when Lovable closed a $330 million Series B at a $6.6 billion valuation. If the current talks close on the reported terms, the company's value will have doubled in less than seven months, a rare pace even by the standards of the AI market in recent years.

Vibe coding is a category of AI tools that lets users describe the app they want in plain language while the model generates and refines the code. Over the past year, the niche has become one of the most capital-intensive in the AI industry: investors are betting that these platforms will fundamentally change how software gets built and lower the barrier to entry for non-programmers.

What it means

Lovable's talks over a round at double its previous valuation show that investor interest in vibe coding is not cooling, and capital keeps flowing into the category at an accelerating pace, even though the deal itself has not closed yet and its terms may change.
