"Tech job openings rebounded sharply in 2026, challenging popular narrative that AI is wiping out engineering roles...more than 67,000 software eng job openings, highest level in 3 years. Listings have doubled since a trough in mid-2023." businessinsider.com/ai-isnt-killin…

Introducing the world’s first penetration testing for vibe coding to Lovable. You can now prove the security of your Lovable-built apps through a swarm of AI agents that run comprehensive tests, checking for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, privilege escalation, and data exposure, powered by @AikidoSecurity. This used to take weeks, require dedicated security teams, and cost $5k-$50k. All findings are validated to eliminate false positives and sync back into Lovable as actionable issues. This generates a formal pentest report for SOC 2, ISO 27001, client security questionnaires, or even investor due diligence.

Fast Company‘s most innovative healthcare companies of 2026 10 out of the 20 are health AI companies: Overjet — AI dental imaging & diagnosis tools myLaurel — AI-supported in-home elder care Clarium — AI hospital supply chain network Regard — AI clinical diagnosis & documentation Inspiren — AI monitoring for senior safety Theator — AI surgical analysis & reporting SamaCare — AI prior authorization automation RatingsMD — AI-powered doc review insights Lyric — AI platform for healthcare payments Bunkerhill Health — clinical workflow platform

Today Lovable became the first vibe coding tool with built-in penetration testing. Any Lovable-built app can now get the same quality of security testing companies typically pay $5k-$50k for, in a couple hours, for $100 per test, powered by @AikidoSecurity. Our built-in security scanning and platform already get builders far, and now you can prove it with a pentest that supports SOC 2, ISO 27001, client security questionnaires, or investor due diligence. This is a huge leap for safe building.

Lovable’s Head of Growth has shared 5 key lessons about Lovable’s $1M to $400M ARR journey Elena joined Lovable at ~$1M ARR > $100M by July 2025 > $200M by November 2025 > $400M by February 2026. I’ve been following Elena for a long time (since she was doing sessions at Reforge in 2023) and take detailed notes each time she is interviewed on any show!

Lovable is your co founder!

Today, the EU published the formal bill for EU Inc, a new legal framework that will make building companies across Europe a lot easier. I've seen firsthand how fragmented rules can hold back European talent. EU Inc addresses this directly with 48-hour online registration, zero minimum capital, and standardized stock options, making it simpler to get started and grow. When I started Lovable, my goal was to empower anyone with an idea to build. This new regulation aligns perfectly with that vision because it helps remove the hurdles and accelerate the journey for builders throughout Europe. It really opens up the opportunity to create a global company from anywhere in Europe. I'm incredibly optimistic about what this means for founders.

You can now connect Twilio to anything you build in Lovable. SMS notifications, WhatsApp messaging, appointment reminders, 2FA, AI voice agents, all from a prompt.

This is what matters most ❤️💚⚽️

No one really had a plan for what happens when you give every doctor in America a clinical AI they trust. Turns out they use it. A lot. On March 10, one million clinical consultations happened between NPI-verified physicians and OpenEvidence in 24 hours.

I have interviewed 100 of the best growth leaders over the past 5 years. None has impressed me as much as @ElenaVerna, Head of Growth @Lovable. Elena scaled Lovable's growth engine from $0 to $400M in ARR in just 2 years. Today, I released our 20Growth with Elena and have gone over it to condense my biggest lessons from the discussion. 🚀 8 Lessons on Building a $400M ARR Growth Machine: 1. Growth Is No Longer a Distribution Problem. It’s a Trust Problem. When anyone can build software with AI, functionality stops being the moat. Trust becomes the moat. The question customers ask is simple: “Do I trust this team to keep evolving the product?” 2. Your Product Is Now Your Most Important Channel The best acquisition channel in 2026 is the product itself. If users love the experience, they share it, talk about it and bring others in. Marketing becomes amplification of product delight. 3. Founder & Employee Socials Are the Most Underrated Growth Channel Most companies treat social like an intern posting memes. The real opportunity is employees building in public. When engineers, PMs and founders share what they are building, it builds trust and distribution simultaneously. 4. Paid Growth Too Early Is a Death Trap If you haven’t figured out organic demand yet, paid ads will simply burn cash faster. Until product-market fit is clear and funnels are optimized, paid growth is often just lighting money on fire. 5. CAC:LTV Is a Fantasy for Most Startups Most companies don’t actually know their LTV. Unless you’ve been operating for years, it’s guesswork. The metric that matters instead: payback period. How quickly do you get your cash back? 6. Community Should Be Built Around Superusers, Not Support Tickets Most “communities” become complaint forums. The right way: identify your early power users and make them ambassadors. Let them pull others in through enthusiasm, not customer service. 7. Don’t Lock Monetization into Subscriptions Many AI products are bursty. People build intensely for a period, then slow down. Allowing top-ups or usage-based purchases alongside subscriptions can dramatically increase revenue and retention. 8. The Best Growth Strategy Is Relentless Shipping Lovable ships improvements daily and major launches every 1–2 months. Constant product evolution keeps the company top-of-mind and continuously re-engages users. (Links below)

"Fear is a very natural outcome of change." Lovable CEO Anton Osika explains why anxiety over the software selloff is justified, telling @TomMackenzieTV there is still excitement about how AI is unlocking new ways to innovate. bloom.bg/46r3dRt

How does Lovable Hack Social Algorithms to Have Viral Posts: "We have a channel called bee swarming where employees post their content and everyone goes to amplify it. We try to turn every engineer into a marketer and get the whole team posting about things they are excited about. Then marketing puts its full firepower behind the biggest launches to tell the story." @ElenaVerna Biggest lessons on how to make posts go viral @antonosika @lukeharries @eglyman @FoundersPodcast?
