$100M ARR in 8 months 🤯

Welcome to AI Wire — your smart shortcut to all things AI, without the jargon.
What we’ll cover today:
💸 Japan’s LayerX raises $100M to kill paper invoices
🦄 Lovable, Europe’s vibe-coding unicorn, hits $100M ARR
🇮🇳🇺🇸 $1B India–U.S. alliance to fuel deep tech
⚒️ Tools: AI designer, sales agent, avatars, agent ops

LayerX: Japan’s Back-Office AI Beast 💸📑
LayerX just raised $100M to automate Japan’s messy back-office work (invoices, expenses, cards).
Their tool Bakuraku already powers 15,000 companies, in a country still stuck on paper and Excel.
They are growing faster than any SaaS in Japan’s history, aiming for $68M ARR this year and $680M by 2030.
The moat is cultural: global SaaS players struggle to win here, but LayerX is built for Japan’s rigid enterprise workflows.
Would you trust AI to fully handle your company’s invoices and expense reports? 💸📑 |

Lovable: Europe’s Vibe-Coding Unicorn 🦄👨💻
Swedish startup Lovable hit $100M ARR in just 8 months and raised $200M at a $1.8B valuation.
Their platform lets non-coders build real apps and businesses, not just prototypes.
They plug into multiple AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic) instead of being tied to one, which makes them flexible.
Proves Europe can create global-scale AI platforms without fleeing to Silicon Valley.
Eight big funds (Accel, Blume, Premji, Celesta) just pledged $1B to fund Indian deep tech startups.
The goal is to back serious tech like AI, semiconductors, space, and quantum, not just food delivery apps.
India’s government is also pushing this with an $11B national R&D scheme.
The risk is execution: coordination across eight funds and shifting geopolitics could slow things down.

Something I just told a founder: Stay as small as you can for as long as you can. People who come to visit your office should always be surprised that such an important company has so few employees.
