Vibe-coding startup Anything nabs a $100M valuation after hitting $2M ARR in its first two weeks

The vibe-coding movement — where AI tools build full apps and websites from simple natural language prompts — is rapidly transforming how software gets made.

In July, Swedish startup Lovable reached $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) just eight months after its debut and expects to reach $250 million by year’s end, with a projected ARR of $1 billion within the next 12 months. Meanwhile, Replit reported that its ARR skyrocketed from $2.8 million to $150 million in under a year — a signal of just how fast this AI-powered development space is expanding.

“This is one of those spaces where every company is growing like a weed,” said Nikhil Basu Trivedi, co-founder and general partner at Footwork, a venture capital firm that’s been tracking the sector’s explosive growth.

The Problem With Vibe Coding — and How Anything Plans to Fix It

Despite their remarkable growth, Basu Trivedi says most vibe-coding platforms share the same flaw: they’re great for prototyping, but not for building production-ready apps.

“The problem with most vibe-coding companies,” he explained, “is that they don’t provide all the infrastructure that nontechnical users need to launch a functional product.”

That’s where Anything, a newly launched AI app-building platform, comes in. Founded just a month ago, the company has already reached a $2 million annualised run rate (ARR) in its first two weeks. Its approach is to offer everything users need — databases, storage, payments, and back-end functionality — in one integrated platform, allowing anyone to build and launch apps or web businesses without coding.

The early traction impressed Basu Trivedi so much that Footwork led an $11 million funding round, valuing Anything at $100 million. The round also included backing from Uncork Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, and M13.

Building the “Shopify of Vibe Coding”

Founded by former Google engineers Dhruv Amin and Marcus Lowe, Anything is designed explicitly for nontechnical creators who want to build comprehensive, revenue-generating apps.

“You haven’t really seen real businesses built on top of any of these tools,” Amin said. “We want to be the Shopify of the space, where people build apps that make money on top of us.”

Amin said that early users have already launched fully functional apps — including a habit tracker, a CPR training platform, and a hairstyle “try-on” app — several of which are now generating income. He credits Anything’s all-in-one infrastructure for helping users finish what other tools leave half-built.

From Marketplace to Full AI Builder

Amin and Lowe have been working together since 2021. Their first venture was a bootstrapped AI development marketplace combining human developers with early AI coding tools. That business achieved around $2 million ARR, but the rapid advances in large language models (LLMs) convinced them that fully automated development was the future.

In 2023, they shut down the marketplace and began building Anything, raising early rounds from Uncork and Bessemer Venture Partners.

Unlike competitors such as Lovable or StackBlitz’s Bolt, which rely on Supabase for database management, Anything has built its entire infrastructure in-house — a move the founders believe will pay off as they scale.

That internal build-out took time, but positioned Anything as one of the few vibe-coding startups offering a true end-to-end development ecosystem.

A Growing Field — and Growing Competition

The vibe-coding market is heating up fast. Startups like Mocha and Rork are also betting on integrated back-end systems, with Rork reportedly on track to reach $10 million ARR by the end of the year.

Still, investor Basu Trivedi believes the market is far from saturated.

“It seems there’s enough demand out there for different types of app-building products,” he said.

With millions of new creators and businesses turning to AI-assisted tools to bring their ideas to life, Anything’s early momentum suggests there’s still plenty of room for innovation — and competition — in the race to define the future of software creation.
