From Create.xyz to Anything
Anything was founded in San Francisco by Dhruv Amin — YouTube TV's first product manager — and Marcus Lowe, previously of Google Maps, alongside Mark Craemer. Launched as Create.xyz, one of the earliest "text-to-app" builders, the company rebranded to Anything in 2025 as it scaled beyond prototypes toward production applications.
What it does
Users describe what they want in plain English, and Anything generates real, code-backed mobile apps, websites, and internal tools — not mockups. The platform handles the full stack: backend infrastructure, user authentication, databases, and Stripe-powered payments, with GPT-5 integration and more than 40 third-party integrations available out of the box. That makes it a favorite of entrepreneurs and operators who want to ship products without hiring engineers, while still producing code that can grow with the business.
Funding and momentum
In September 2025 Anything announced an $11M Series A led by Footwork Ventures at a $100M valuation, with M13, Bessemer Venture Partners, Uncork Capital, and Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke participating. It competes in the white-hot AI app-builder category against Lovable, Bolt, and Replit, differentiating with a mobile-first, non-technical-founder focus and built-in monetization.
