IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AARE

The Secret 90’s Tech Renaissance You Missed

When you hear 90s tech boom, you think Google or Microsoft.

But in every boom, there’s an entire behind-the-scenes market that didn’t make headlines:

Level 3 communications made fiber-optic cables, sold for $34B.
Digital Realty built data centers, grew to $53B market cap
Equinix owned the real estate for data centers. ~$70B market cap.

Commercial real estate is in a similar moment today.

Roughly once every 10–15 years, properties start changing hands to favor buyers. Now, a company called AARE is stepping into those deals, and they’re sharing access with everyday investors.

REITs similar to what AARE is building are valued at up to $120B, more than 100x AARE’s current $39M valuation. For tech-focused investors, that means diversification into real-world infrastructure without abandoning long-term upside potential.

Plus, AARE plans to pay out up to 100% of income in dividends*. You can get up to 15% bonus shares when you invest in AARE now.

Cisco Zero-Day Under Active Exploit — Hackers are exploiting a critical AsyncOS flaw; Cisco is urging affected customers to wipe and rebuild devices while patches lag.

WBD Rejects Paramount — The Warner Bros. Discovery Board calls Paramount’s $108B bid “illusory,” rejecting it and doubling down on the Netflix-linked path.

Vibe Coding Just Became The Infrastructure With Lovable’s $6.6B Valuation

Lovable has moved fast from curiosity to category leader. When CapitalG and Nvidia back a company at a $6.6B valuation, the signal is clear. The way software gets created is changing. The interface is now becoming intent and creativity.

This matters because software shapes how most companies work. If the entry point changes, the winners change too. Lovable earlier reported $75M ARR with 2.3M users and 180,000 paying subscribers within ~8 months. It’s tracking toward $250M ARR by year-end and even a path toward $1B ARR within the next year. That sounds a lot like like winning. While aggressive, its plausible given growth rate. Its an exceptionally fast conversion at scale for a “builder” product even in this hyped AI market.

Start Where Users Actually Start

Most software projects begin in the wrong place. They start with tools, frameworks, and setup choices. By the time a user sees anything useful, weeks have passed.

Lovable flips that order. It recently released a beta AI agent for task automation, which pushes it closer to being an operating layer rather than a one-shot generator.

You begin with a plain description of what you want. Screens appear. Logic appears. State appears. The product shows up early. That shift sounds simple. It removes a big hidden cost. You no longer need to know how software should begin. You only need to know what you want it to do. For non technical teams, that difference is everything.

From Writing to Working Systems

Plenty of tools can generate screens. Lovable goes further. It connects screens to behavior. You describe how users move through an app. You describe what gets saved. You describe what updates when something changes. Lovable turns that into a working system.

This is where many builders get stuck. Writing is easy. Systems are hard. Lovable lowers that wall. You are no longer translating ideas into technical instructions. You are staying in plain language while the structure forms underneath.

That is the core appeal of vibe coding.

The Moment Reality Shows Up

After the first rush, reality arrives. Apps that deal with information need rules. They need sources. They need checks. They need to avoid mistakes. This is where every serious product hits friction.

What Lovable does is reveal the real work faster. You see the gaps early instead of months later. That alone saves teams time and money.

Why the Funding Signal Matters

Lovable does not raise small checks. A $330M Series B at a $6.6B valuation is a bet on control of a new layer. Investors are paying for market position. The position is the surface where software gets created.

Big tech companies want that surface. It decides which models get used. It decides where data flows. It decides who owns the workflow. Backing Lovable is a way to secure influence in that layer before it locks in.

The Platform War Taking Shape

Three groups are moving toward the same space.

One group builds tools for professional developers. Another builds tools for everyone else. A third group owns the models and wants to move up the stack.

Lovable sits in the second group.

Its advantage is reach. Millions of people who never opened a code editor can now build working products. That creates habit. Habit creates lock in.

There is risk. Model providers like Anthropic, Google, Microsoft Co-Pilot or OpenAI can ship (and are shipping) similar tools. Competitors can copy features. The defense is workflow. Once teams rely on a system to build, revise, and ship, switching becomes painful.

What Lovable Gets Right

Lovable respects how people think and design online spaces. People think in goals, not files. They think in flows, not functions. They think in outcomes, not architecture.

By matching that mental model, Lovable removes fear. Building feels closer to writing a doc than starting a project. That psychological shift explains the speed of adoption more than any feature list.

Our Take

Vibe coding is less about replacing engineers entirely, than it is about changing who gets to participate earlier in the process. Lovable brings more people into the software loop with experienced engineers and web designers. Ideas turn into artifacts quickly. Bad ideas fail faster. Good ideas get tested sooner.

That creates momentum. If Lovable can keep quality high as it scales, defend its position as models improve, and deepen its workflow tools, it has a real chance to become a default builder layer.

At that point, $6.6B will seem less overhyped, and may start to look like the starting line for companies competing for this market.
