Anton Osika is a Swedish technology entrepreneur, co-founder, and CEO of Lovable, an AI-powered software development platform. Born in 1990, Osika’s childhood fascination with gadetry and films like The Matrix led him to teach himself coding by age 12.

He pursued a formal education in Engineering Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. During his university years, his academic prowess led him to conduct research in particle physics at CERN, though he ultimately chose entrepreneurship over a career in pure research to seek greater real-world impact.

• Core Company: Lovable (AI coding platform).
• Education: Engineering Physics, KTH Stockholm; researcher at CERN.
• Early Interest: Self-taught coder from the age of 12.

Anton Osika’s professional career began at high-growth AI startups, notably as the first engineer at Sana Labs. In 2019, he co-founded Depict.ai, an e-commerce recommendation engine, where he served as CTO. These experiences convinced him that the complexity of manual coding was a barrier to innovation.

In late 2023, he launched Lovable with the mission to democratize software creation by allowing users to turn natural-language prompts into full applications—a concept the team pioneered as 'vibe coding'. Under his leadership, Lovable reached unicorn status in 2025, scaling from $0 to $100 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in just eight months.

• Strategic Vision: Breaking the technical wall between human ideas and working code.
• Unicorn Milestone: Lovable achieved unicorn status with a valuation of up to $2 billion by mid-2025.
