Six-Month-Old Vibe-Coding Startup Base44 Acquired by Wix for $80M

Maor Shlomo's Base44, a six-month-old bootstrapped vibe-coding startup, was acquired by Wix for $80 million in cash. Base44, boasting 250,000 users and rapid growth (10,000 users in three weeks), provides compelling evidence for the 'solo unicorn' concept, although Shlomo had a small team. The acquisition highlights the potential of low-code/no-code platforms and the rapid adoption of AI in startups.
