Lovable's Anton Osika: One Million New Apps a Week
At 26:41 · chapter starts 25:00
Jason introduces Anton Osika with genuine enthusiasm, calling him one of his favorite founders, and Osika immediately justifies that billing with jaw-dropping numbers. In just 20 months since Lovable launched, users are creating one million new software projects every single week; the platform has hosted more than 50 million total apps; and those apps collectively receive over 700 million visits per month [1] — Anton Osika "1 million new apps per week on Lovable: Lovable users are creating one million new projects every single week on the platform, with over 50…" 26:34 . By May 2026, Lovable had reached $500 million in annualized revenue, growing by roughly $100 million every six months. Osika then turns to the customer profile: four out of five users have no technical background [2] — Anton Osika "80% of Lovable users are non-technical: Four out of five Lovable users have no technical or engineering background, showing the platform is…" 27:59 . They're first-time founders, enterprise employees building side hustles, and small business operators using Lovable to figure out what to build before committing resources. The 20% who are technically trained appreciate the platform's opinionated architecture — automatic security scanning, best-practice payment setups, built-in guardrails — freeing engineers from routine decisions. Osika notes that the no-code tools of 10 years ago promised this but couldn't deliver; LLMs made the actual software good enough to deploy.
One million new projects every week. Over 50 million total apps built. 700 million monthly visits to those apps. $500 million in annualized revenue by May 2026 — all in 20 months since launch. These aren't vanity metrics; they represent a platform where businesses are actually running. Lovable isn't a prototype tool anymore.
Lovable users are creating one million new projects every single week on the platform, with over 50 million apps built in total since launch.
Applications built on Lovable collectively receive more than 700 million visits per month, demonstrating significant real-world deployment and usage.
Four out of five Lovable users have no technical or engineering background, showing the platform is primarily empowering non-developers to build software.
Four out of five Lovable users have zero engineering background. They're first-time founders, enterprise employees building side hustles, and small business owners figuring out what to build. The 20% who are technical use Lovable because it enforces best practices automatically — secure payments, security scans, architecture guardrails — things even developers appreciate not managing manually.
Jason Calacanis's team built a full intranet for Founder University in 4–8 hours using Lovable for less than $2,000 — a project that would have cost $500,000 two years earlier.
Jason Calacanis's Founder University program needed an intranet. Two years ago that would have been a $500,000 project — off the table. Instead, a non-technical program manager built it herself on Lovable in 4 to 8 hours, including economic impact calculators, without asking permission. Total cost: under $2,000. The software now powers the program in Saudi Arabia and Japan.
