Lovable, the Swedish vibe coding platform, has opened its first London office with 70 people and aims to reach 100 by December. It is the company's second engineering, product, and design hub after Stockholm. The move comes as Cursor, Anthropic, and OpenAI also expand in London, which makes hiring competitive. Lovable plans around 450 employees in total, so a 100-strong London team would be about 22% of the workforce. The office includes the team from Radish AI, which Lovable recently acquired to strengthen its agents and infrastructure offering. Lovable raised $400 million at a $13.3 billion valuation on August 12, led by Menlo Ventures and EQT's Scaleup Europe Fund. Chief executive officer Anton Osika has said staying out of Silicon Valley was a deliberate choice.

Sitowise joins Lovable's collaboration program

Goldhirsh Foundation returns to LA Tech Week for the fourth year, partnering with Pledge and Lovable to build for social impact. Posted October 27, 2026 When the night began, Youth Justice Coalition's Free LA High School didn't have direct enrollment. Now, it does - and it only took an hour and the creativity of a few Angelenos who had just met. Fresh off the heels of the 2026 LA2050 Grantee Showcase, Goldhirsh Foundation held its fifth LA Tech Week event in four years, this time at the headquarters of LA2050 Grants Challenge funding partner, the Fox Foundation, on October 15, 2026. Goldhirsh Foundation and LA2050 joined together with longtime partner Pledge, and first-time partner Lovable, for "Build a Better LA," a social impact connection-building event designed to foster collaboration between people from the nonprofit sector and people who work in tech. Nearly 200 professionals - including the Free LA High School team - gathered in an unseasonably balmy Santa Monica for a night of networking, tacos, and real-time creating. As guests arrived, they donned color-coded nametags indicating their issue areas of interest, such as climate and environment, arts and culture, health and wellness, and more. They then gathered by issue area to connect around their shared passions. After an enthusiastic networking session, it was time to build. Goldhirsh Foundation's president Tara Roth welcomed guests. "Each season we set out to introduce people from the nonprofit sector to people from the technology sector, and vice versa," said Roth, mentioning the Foundation's work providing nonprofit AI training, and shouting out dataland founder Refik Anadol, whom the Foundation's LA2050 initiative featured earlier this year in its "What Do You Say, LA?" campaign. Pledge CEO James Citron then formally kicked off the main event of the evening, discussing Pledge's dedication to supporting nonprofits with funding and tech, as he brought out Mallory Contois and Fernanda Chouza from Lovable. Together, Contois and Chouza announced the new Pledge connector on Lovable's platform, which allows innovators with a passion for social good to build Pledge donation hubs directly onto their Lovable apps and platforms. The two walked attendees through their next hour: after being grouped via color-coded name tag, attendees would work together to build apps on the Pledge connector, competing to win one of the three $1,000 prizes at the end of the night. After a busy building session, each team presented their Pledge connector prototype. Several of the groups developed sites based on their designated issue area, such as a Neighborhood Porch app, connecting neighbors to volunteer opportunities and local greening locations, and a discreet Beacon of Hope app, supporting individuals experiencing domestic violence while disguised as a gardening tracker. Some of the groups built platforms expressly for one of the group members' nonprofits, such as multi-time LA2050 Grants Challenge winner Defy Ventures' Defy the Odds platform, designed to do the heavy lifting for an upcoming fund drive, or LA2050 grantee Makers Hub's digital Makers Hub, allowing customers and creators to operate and book classes out of a central platform. At the end of the night, Citron announced the three winning groups, using Lovable to create a slide deck announcement within one minute of presentations. In third place was the Defy the Odds platform, which ranked an 8/10 for creativity, and a 10/10 for fundraising. In second was the Beacon of Hope app, ranking at an 8/10 for creativity as well, plus a 10/10 for impact. And first place went to the Free LA platform, hosted by Youth Justice Coalition, at a 10/10 for impact, and an 8/10 for fundraising. In 2013, YJC turned a former juvenile prison into a school; the platform they built on Lovable will allow students to enroll directly into Free LA High School and Chuco's Justice Center - and provide the option to donate directly to Free LA to outright purchase the building from the county.
