Lovable Backs Danish Startup Atech ($800K Pre-Seed) to Bring Vibe Coding to Physical Hardware

TechCrunch·medium signal

Lovable led an $800K pre-seed round in Danish startup Atech, with a16z Scout, Sequoia Scout, and Nordic Makers also participating. Atech lets users describe hardware concepts to an AI chatbot that generates code for working physical prototypes — extending the vibe coding paradigm from software to electronics. Users range from 'four-year-olds building cars to engineers developing hydrogen synthesis plants.' For builders: if vibe coding is eating software, Atech is the first serious bet that the same pattern works for hardware prototyping.
