We built Bubble with a clear mission: to empower everyone to create software. Our AI visual development platform lets anyone, from first-time entrepreneurs to enterprise teams, take an idea from prompt to fully-functional, scalable app across web, iOS, and Android. With over 6 million users in more than 100 countries, Bubble is breaking down the barriers to entrepreneurship and innovation worldwide.
Our Product
Bubble is the only fully visual AI app builder that lets you vibe code without the code to go beyond prototypes and launch real apps to real users. Chat with AI when you want speed, edit directly when you want control. Bubble's visual editor lets you fine-tune any detail, from the design to privacy rules and programming logic, so you're never stuck, even if AI hits its limits. Everything you need comes built in: a unified web and native mobile editor, enterprise-grade hosting, security, database management, and automatic scaling that grows with your business.
You can build just about anything on Bubble, and our community is living proof. Mailead grew a $10K investment into a $2M valuation, and Faceless.video went from zero to $1M+ ARR in under a year. People aren't just launching products on Bubble, they're building real businesses.

Why Join Bubble Now?
The rise of AI-generated software has validated everything Bubble has been building toward for over a decade. But pure AI-generated code is fragile, hard to debug, and rarely production-ready. Bubble bridges that gap, combining the speed of AI with a structured visual platform that produces stable, scalable, secure software. The people who join Bubble right now will help define what that means for millions of builders around the world. If you've ever wanted to work on something that genuinely changes who gets to build, this is your moment.

Bubble Insights
What We Do
Founded in 2012, Bubble was one of the first companies to bet that software creation shouldn't require code. Over a decade later, that bet has scaled to 6million+ users and over 200 countries building real, revenue-generating products on the platform. Now, as AI reshapes how software gets built, Bubble is becoming an agentic company, not just adding an AI feature, but rebuilding around the Bubble AI Agent as a core part of the product, with Bubblers using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Figma Make as everyday parts of how they build. The people who join now are defining what that looks like for millions of builders. This does two things the current copy doesn't: gives a timeline (2012 → 6M+ users → the current AI-era pivot) and states the agentic-company positioning in plain terms, matching the exact language used across LinkedIn and Instagram so a candidate sees the same story everywhere they research Bubble.
