Lovable Hits $200M ARR — Because Apparently Europe Isn’t Just About Cheese and Bureaucracy

Well, strap in, because here’s another “startup success story” where some company called Lovable just hit a whopping $200 million in ARR. Yeah, apparently doing SaaS magic while staying cozy in Europe worked out for them. Who knew not running off to Silicon Valley with the rest of the tech lemmings could actually pay off?

So their CEO — a smug bastard who’s probably allergic to beanbags and microdosing — swears that staying in Europe was the secret sauce. Less hype, fewer bullshit valuations, and, get this, actual focus on building something useful. Shocking, right? Instead of blowing investor cash on nonsense “growth hacking retreats” in Bali, they just built a damn product and sold it. Madness.

Lovable apparently kept their heads down, avoided the Valley cult mentality, and focused on real customers — you know, the people who actually pay money instead of clapping for your latest round on LinkedIn. Their whole thing is about building trust, keeping talent local, and not turning every company meeting into a Ted Talk about “disruption.”

And somehow, in the middle of all that, they cranked up the revenue machine to $200M. It’s almost like not acting like a bunch of over-caffeinated toddlers with venture capital wallets produces results. Who the fuck could’ve guessed?

Moral of the story: Europe kept them grounded, focused, and away from the shitty hype circus in California. Sometimes being far away from the noise helps you actually get shit done. Who’d have thought?

Reminds me of the time I told a junior dev to stop “networking” and actually fix a broken script — two hours later, magic happened, the server stayed up, and my blood pressure went down a little. There’s a bloody lesson there.
