The Loveable Story: From Open Source to $100M ARR in X Months

🔬 Founded in 2023 by @antonosika (former CERN engineer), started as open-source project "GPT Engineer" that went viral on GitHub with 50K+ stars.

🚀 Launched commercial product in November 2024 - AI that builds full web apps from simple text prompts. No coding required.

📈 The explosion: Month 1: $4M ARR. Month 2: $10M ARR. Month 6: $50M ARR. Month 8: $100M ARR.

🏆 Result: Fastest software company in history to reach $100M ARR, beating previous record holder Cursor (12 months) by 33%.

💰 Raised $200M Series A at $1.8B valuation with just XX employees. 2.3M active users. 100K+ projects created daily.

⚡ The lesson: When you nail product-market fit in the AI era, growth can be literally unprecedented. Pure execution at the perfect moment.

🎯 From GitHub side project to fastest-growing software company ever. Zero to $100M in X months.
