Lovable Promises Guaranteed 10% Annual Salary Increase As It Targets 400 Employees

Stockholm-based vibe-coding platform Lovable is promising a guaranteed 10% annual salary increase for employees on their work anniversary, a move TechCrunch says few U.S. companies would contemplate.

TechCrunch reports Lovable is currently at 200 employees and plans to grow to 400 by year-end, with hiring in roles across the board.

Lovable’s people team lead Maryanne Caughey told TechCrunch that “The longer someone stays at Lovable, the more deeply they understand the company, contribute to its momentum, and shape its culture.”

In March, Lovable claimed its Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) had already crossed $400 million and projected hitting $1 billion in ARR by around the end of the year, according to TechCrunch.

TechCrunch frames the program as a reversal of how corporate America treats employees by default, contrasting Lovable’s cash raises with stock and profit-sharing plans that are often contingent on vesting schedules.

Lovable’s head of growth Elena Verna argues on LinkedIn that “Because we don’t take retention for granted. It’s treated as compounding value that is actively recognized and rewarded.”

TechCrunch also reports that founder CEO Anton Osika added on Twitter: “Because people get more valuable the longer they stay, and they shouldn’t have to worry about getting a raise or not.”

Zamin.uz links the policy to corporate culture by asking whether Lovable’s 10% salary increase could change how employees experience their workplace, and it credits TechCrunch with the core details of the plan.

TechCrunch says Lovable’s approach is made easier by its scale, noting that equity compensation doesn’t cost companies cash out of pocket immediately while cash raises create permanent overhead.

The article reports that in some months Lovable grew annual recurring revenue by $100 million, and it ties the ability to share cash to the startup’s rapid revenue growth.

Zamin.uz says Lovable is promising the guaranteed 10% annual salary increase for employees on their work anniversary and describes the platform as a “vibe-coding” platform.

TechCrunch adds that Lovable launched its vibe-coding product in late 2024 and has been “on a tear ever since,” while also noting that the program applies to all full-time employees meeting performance expectations on their work anniversary, according to Maryanne Caughey’s remarks.
