Favorites and Google announced expanded multi-year partnership on Wednesday. Lovable, a fast-growing Stockholm vibe-coding startup, is a long-time Google Cloud user. Under the new contract, it will be even bigger.
While the companies did not disclose a dollar figure, a person with knowledge of the deal tells TechCrunch that it represents a fivefold increase in Lovable’s footprint on Google Cloud, including the use of AI. As part of the deal, this person tells us, Lovable will get broad access to both Anthropic’s Claude — an AI model widely used for coding tasks — and Google’s own Gemini models.
The Anthropic work is especially interesting. Google invested $10 billion in cash and computing loans in Anthropic in April, and promised an additional $30 billion if Anthropic met certain performance targets. It valued that investment at $350 billion — just a month before Anthropic raised a staggering amount 65 billion dollar turnover which valued the company at nearly $1 trillion. This deal helps Anthropic achieve these goals, as Lovable is one of Europe’s fastest-growing startups on record. According to Lovable, it has surpassed $400 million annual income in Februaryadded $100 million in one month with just 146 employees. The company claims that more than half of the Fortune 500 companies use its product in some form.
The deal also ties Lovable to several other parts of the Google ecosystem. Lovable’s new agent will be available through Gemini Enterprise Agent Gallery, Google Cloud’s enterprise agent marketplace—an arrangement between the two companies. first the telegraph at Google’s major US cloud conference in April. To ensure the security of code written by both humans and agents, Lovable will integrate with Wiz, Google’s $32 billion acquisition. officially closed in March, a year after that announced. The integration will allow Wiz to identify and remediate security issues in real-time.
By selling Lovable agents through the Google marketplace, the cloud giant said enterprise purchasing and billing will be simplified, making it easier for Lovable to acquire more enterprise customers.
The calculation for Google is quite simple. If both Lovable and Anthropic can sustain growth by attracting deep-pocketed ventures, the revenue helps fund the $180 billion to $190 billion in capital spending that Google plans to spend this year. The company is already in process broke the record and sold 85 billion dollars of capital to pay for part of it, that is, another 100 billion dollars or more will have to go.
