TechCrunch confirmed the Series C on August 12, led by Menlo Ventures and the Scaleup Europe Fund, up from $330M at $6.6B in December 2025. $500M annualized run rate as of June, 60 million hosted projects, 900 million monthly visits, and a multiyear Google Cloud agreement representing a 5x usage increase. A prompt-to-app tool carrying a valuation that used to require a full application suite is the clearest price signal that the buyer for simple internal software shifted from Retool-style builders to generation.
