AI coding platform Lovable is in talks to raise $300 million at a $13.2 billion valuation, doubling its previous valuation. Menlo Ventures is expected to lead the funding round.

The funding round would represent significant growth for Lovable, which has gained traction in the competitive AI-assisted development space. The $300 million investment signals strong investor confidence in the platform's ability to generate revenue and scale. Lovable allows developers to build web applications using AI, competing with other tools in the generative AI development category. The company has attracted attention as enterprises increasingly adopt AI-powered coding assistants to accelerate development cycles. Menlo Ventures' involvement as lead investor adds established venture capital backing to the round. The firm has invested in multiple AI and developer tools companies in recent years. The valuation jump to $13.2 billion reflects broader market enthusiasm for AI developer tools, though the sector has seen both significant investments and increased scrutiny around unit economics and customer retention.
