AI coding startup Anything just pulled off one of the fastest growth stories in tech history - hitting $2 million in annual recurring revenue within two weeks of launch. That explosive traction immediately caught the attention of investors, leading to an $11 million Series A at a $100 million valuation led by Footwork Ventures. The company is betting it can solve what many see as the biggest problem in the booming 'vibe coding' space: turning AI-generated prototypes into actual businesses.
Anything just rewrote the playbook for AI coding startup growth. The company hit $2 million in annual recurring revenue within two weeks of launching - a pace that made even seasoned VCs do double takes. That momentum immediately translated into an $11 million Series A at a $100 million valuation, announced Monday, with Footwork Ventures leading the round alongside Uncork, Bessemer, and M13.
The vibe coding market has been on fire lately. Swedish startup Lovable hit $100 million ARR just eight months after launch and plans to close this year at $250 million ARR. Meanwhile, Replit watched its ARR explode from $2.8 million to $150 million in less than 12 months. "This is one of those spaces where every company is growing like a weed," Nikhil Trivedi, co-founder and general partner at Footwork, told TechCrunch.
But Trivedi sees a critical gap that Anything is positioned to fill. Most vibe coding platforms excel at generating prototypes through natural language prompts, but they struggle to help users launch production-ready software. "The problem with most vibe coding companies is that they don't provide all the infrastructure that non-technical users need to launch a functional product," he explained.
That's where Anything's founders, former Google colleagues Dhruv Amin and Marcus Lowe, saw their opening. Instead of relying on third-party services like most competitors do with Supabase for databases, they built everything in-house - from databases to storage and payment functionality. "We want to be the Shopify of the space, where people build apps that make money on top of us," Amin said.
The strategy appears to be working. Users have already built fully functional applications available in the App Store, including a habit tracker, CPR training course, and a hair-style "try-on" app. Some are even generating revenue. "You haven't really seen real businesses built on top of any of these tools," Amin noted about other vibe coding companies.
