Base44

Base44 is an AI-powered platform that enables users to build fully functional custom software solutions, including apps and websites, using natural language prompts without the need for traditional coding. Founded in early 2025 by Israeli entrepreneur Maor Shlomo, the company rapidly gained traction, reaching profitability and hundreds of thousands of users within six months. Its 'vibe coding' approach simplifies app development by handling database architecture, user authentication, API connectivity, and deployment through AI agents. Base44 was acquired by Wix in June 2025 for an initial consideration of $80 million, with additional earn-out payments tied to performance.
