Anything AI Hits $100M Valuation After Explosive ARR Growth

AI startup founders discussing growth

The rise of vibe coding, where AI tools build apps from natural prompts, is reshaping the tech landscape. Several startups, including Lovable and Replit, have shown extraordinary growth in the past year. Despite this success, many tools fall short when it comes to enabling users to launch fully functional, production-ready applications.

Anything, a new entrant in the space, is addressing this gap. The company integrates infrastructure like databases, payments, and storage into its platform. This approach allows nontechnical users to move from prototype to real, revenue-generating apps. Within just two weeks, Anything reached $2 million in annualized run rate, an achievement that highlights both demand and scalability.

Funding and Expansion Plans

On Monday, Anything announced it had raised $11 million at a $100 million valuation. The financing was led by Footwork, with backing from Uncork, Bessemer, and M13. Co-founders Dhruv Amin and Marcus Lowe, both former Google employees, say their vision is to be the “Shopify of vibe coding,” supporting users in building profitable apps.

Users have already created a range of applications, from a CPR training tool to a hairstyle try-on app. Several are available on app stores and beginning to generate income. Amin emphasized that the difference lies in not needing to piece together outside services, which removes friction and speeds up development.

Competition and Differentiation

The broader vibe-coding space is becoming crowded, with companies like Mocha, Rork, and Lovable gaining strong traction. However, Anything’s decision to build in-house infrastructure instead of depending on third-party databases is seen as a key differentiator.

Investor Nikhil Basu Trivedi noted that while the sector is competitive, the sheer demand for AI-powered app creation leaves room for multiple players. The startup’s rapid progress underscores the market’s appetite for tools that can go beyond prototypes and help users launch sustainable businesses.
