Loveable and Google announced an expanded multi-year collaboration on Wednesday. Lovable, a fast-growing Stockholm vibe coding startup, has been using Google Cloud for a long time. Under the new contract, this will be a much bigger deal.
The companies did not disclose the amount, but a person with knowledge of the deal told TechCrunch that it increases Lovable’s presence on Google Cloud fivefold, including through its use of AI. The individual said that as part of the deal, Lovable will gain expanded access to both Anthropic’s Claude and Google’s own Gemini model, which are widely used AI models for coding tasks.
The Anthropic pieces are especially interesting. Google invested $10 billion in cash and compute credits in Anthropic in April, and pledged an additional $30 billion if Anthropic met certain performance goals. The investment valued Anthropic at $350 billion, a month before it raised a whopping $65 billion that valued the company at nearly $1 trillion. This deal will help Anthropic achieve these goals, as Lovable is one of Europe’s fastest-growing startups on record. According to Lovable, annual revenue topped $400 million in February, adding $100 million in just one month with just 146 employees. The company claims that more than half of Fortune 500 companies use its products in some way.
The deal also connects Lovable to several other parts of Google’s ecosystem. Lovable’s new agents will be available through Gemini Enterprise Agent Gallery, Google Cloud’s enterprise agent marketplace. It’s an agreement the two companies first telegraphed at Google’s major U.S. cloud conference last April. And to protect the code written by both humans and agents, Lovable will integrate with Wiz, Google’s largest acquisition ever at $32 billion. The acquisition officially closed in March, a year after it was announced. Integrations allow Wiz to identify and resolve security issues in real time.
The cloud giant says selling Lovable’s agents through Google Marketplace will simplify enterprise procurement and billing, making it easier for Lovable to attract more enterprise customers.
Google’s calculations are very simple: If Lovable and Anthropic can sustain their growth by attracting deep-pocketed companies, the revenue will help fund the $180 billion to $190 billion in capital spending Google plans to spend this year. The company is already in the process of selling a record $85 billion worth of equity to cover some of that, so it only needs to sell about $100 billion more.
