More than half of Fortune 500 companies are using Lovable to “supercharge creativity,” co-founder and CEO Anton Osika declared at Web Summit last November. The company has added a range of dedicated features — often security-related — to convince businesses to use it for more than prototyping and keep them from canceling over time.
Disclosing ever-increasing ARR numbers is also a way for the company to show its success is not fading. It had previously reported $100 million ARR last July, $200 million last November, and $300 million in January, w …
