Lovable, one of the world’s fastest-growing AI startups from Sweden, has teamed up with Australia’s Build Club to launch the Lovable Learning Academy. The startup is already valued at A$2.75 billion, just eight months after launching.
The Lovable Learning Academy is a new platform that uses Lovable’s hands-on learning method to help anyone go from knowing nothing to building and launching their own “vibe-coded” app. Leading the way is Annie Liao, the solo founder of Build Club, who has played a big role in the academy’s fast success.
“Seeing this come to life in just six weeks has been crazy,” Liao said.
“Talisha, Lovable’s growth lead, gave us mere weeks to pull it off, which shows how fast AI is moving! We booked a whole office space for one weekend in SF, recorded every session (20+ modules in three learning tracks), shaped it into our course format, marketed it, then ran a midnight beta test before launch.”
Build Club has quickly become a success story of its own. Just 15 months after launching, the edtech startup raised $1.75 million in a pre-seed round last year. The round was led by AirTree and Blackbird, with additional support from Archangel Ventures, Co Ventures, Treble VC, and Startmate’s Small Bets Fund.
Annie Liao started Build Club with a mission to make AI education fun and accessible for everyone through a gamified e-learning platform. Her goal is to build the best place in the world to learn AI. Today, she leads a small team of five people, working across San Francisco and Australia.
Ebaad Rehman, Build Club’s Head of E-Learning, says their platform helps beginners become AI builders who can launch real products in just one weekend.
“Lovable Learning Academy shows that hands-on projects and rapid iteration beat passive tutorials,” he said.
They launched the academy month, co-designing it with the Lovable team. It focuses on providing an end-to-end solution which allows AI companies to build courses, get users certified, create active community forums and also eventually monetise their skills.
“We’ve even rolled this out to enterprise customers,” Liao said.
“Upskilling traditionally ‘non technical’ employees is now an executive priority as they often hold the subject matter expertise.
“Vibe coders across sectors help each other solve real problems – showing that learning together accelerates impact.”
Brenton Anderson, who runs community engagement at Lovable they partnered with Annie and the Build Club team to create a 20+ part education series for the Lovable platform, and they exceeded every expectation.
“Despite having a tight timeline, the Build Club team demonstrated exceptional flexibility and dedication, working closely with us to ensure the series met our needs. Their motivation and expertise were evident throughout the project resulting in a high quality, engaging educational series that looks amazing,” he said.
“This was a fantastic collaboration. If you’re looking to create an educational series to showcase your product, I highly recommend working with Build Club.”
Beyond Lovable, Liao said Build Club is working with a number of AI companies, such as Exa, Lindy AI, and Crew AI to develop academies to help people learn the latest AI tools.
