Anything Announces $11M in Funding to Build Full-Stack AI App Platform for the Vibe-Coding Era

Anything, an AI-powered app development platform co-founded by former Google engineers Dhruv Amin and Marcus Lowe, has raised $11 million in new funding at a $100 million valuation. The round was led by Footwork, with participation from Uncork Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, and M13.

The company aims to solve a key limitation in the rapidly growing “vibe-coding” space — the ability for nontechnical users to go beyond prototypes and launch fully functional, production-ready applications. Unlike competitors, Anything provides built-in infrastructure including databases, storage, and payments, enabling users to publish complete web and mobile apps without external integrations.

Within weeks of launch, Anything reached a $2 million annualized run rate, reflecting strong demand among creators and small businesses seeking end-to-end AI tools. The platform has already been used to build and monetize consumer-facing applications, positioning it as a comprehensive alternative to lightweight AI app builders such as Lovable and Replit, which have driven explosive growth but remain focused on early-stage prototyping.

Nikhil Basu Trivedi, co-founder and general partner at Footwork, said Anything’s infrastructure-first approach gives it the potential to become the “Shopify for AI apps,” empowering users to create, deploy, and scale businesses directly from natural language prompts.
