Loveable and Google announced Wednesday an expansion of their multi-year collaboration. Lovable, a fast-growing vibecoding startup in Stockholm, has been a long-time Google Cloud user. Under the new agreement, it will be even larger.
The companies did not disclose the amount, but people familiar with the deal told TechCrunch that it involves a fivefold increase in Lovable’s footprint on Google Cloud, including AI usage. As part of the deal, Lovable will have expanded access to both Anthropic’s Claude, an AI model widely used for coding tasks, and Google’s own Gemini model, the person said.
The work “Anthropic” is particularly interesting. Google invested $10 billion in cash and computing credits in Anthropic in April, and pledged another $30 billion if Anthropic met certain performance goals. The company made that investment at a valuation of $350 billion, just a month before Anthropic raised an impressive $65 billion round, bringing the company’s valuation to 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, the company surpassed $400 million in annual revenue in February and grew $100 million in 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 brings Lovable into 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. The deal was first announced by the companies at Google’s major US cloud conference in April. And to protect code written by both humans and agents, Lovable will integrate with Wiz, the largest acquisition in Google history for $32 billion, which was officially completed in March, a year after the announcement. This integration enables Wiz to identify and remediate security issues in real time.
Selling Lovable’s agents through Google’s Marketplace will simplify procurement and billing for enterprises, making it easier for Lovable to attract more enterprise customers, the cloud giant said.
Google’s calculations are very simple. If both Lovable and Anthropic can sustain growth by attracting deep-pocketed companies, the proceeds will help fund the $180 billion to $190 billion in capital spending Google plans to spend this year. The company has already sold a record $85 billion in stock to make up for some of that, leaving about $100 billion left.
