YouWare, the fast-rising AI creation platform that puts community first, revealed it is now valued at $200 million – 2.5 times its $80 million valuation in March – with funding growing to $50 million pre-seed, backed by IDG Capital and 5Y Capital. The company is also excited to launch the YouWare App for iOS and Android, giving users of all technical backgrounds the power to build their own apps and software anytime, anywhere when a moment of creativity strikes.
Just eight months after launching its web platform in March, YouWare has grown its community to more than 500,000 monthly active users, taking off as one of the most promising startups in the vibe coding space. The platform now hosts more than 1 million projects created by a global community of creators, most of whom have discovered YouWare solely through word-of-mouth.
“We’re witnessing a new kind of creative revolution in the world of coding, where technical tasks no longer require technical skills to get the job done,” said Leon Ming, CEO and founder of YouWare. “Watching the YouWare community grow to more than half a million users in half a year shows that with the right set of tools, we’re able to nurture an entirely new generation of creators who thought coding was out of reach.”

With the launch of the YouWare App, the company’s quick expansion from web-only platform to mobile reflects their commitment to meeting creators where they are – out and about on their smartphones. While many AI coding platforms target experienced developers, YouWare has differentiated itself by making vibe coding accessible to non-technical users as well. The new app is the first to fully integrate MCP (Model Context Protocol), backend capabilities, and model switching – built fully in-house, rather than being dependent on third-party frameworks – offering end-to-end full-stack development in a user-friendly package on both iPhone and Android devices.
These mobile features build on YouWare’s proven web platform capabilities built to solve real creator pain points, including Boost (upgraded design in one click) and the recently-announced YouWare Credit Care feature, which allows users to refund credits with a simple click of a button during the creation process if they aren’t happy with what the app’s AI agent produces. While many platforms charge users even if the AI agent produces an unusable result, YouWare prioritizes user satisfaction and community engagement before asking users to part with their money.
