This might be the most impressive acquisition of the year
Israeli founder Maor Shlomo launched Base44 without external funding as a side project after finishing reserve duty
He built an AI app-maker where anyone could create software with a simple prompt
In 6 months:
โซ๏ธ 100,000+ users
โซ๏ธ Partnerships with eToro and Similarweb
โซ๏ธ $189K profit
โซ๏ธ 6-person team
โซ๏ธ Acquired by Wix for $80M (possibly more with earnouts)
Maor now joins Wix, but Base44 stays as a standalone brand, on a mission to replace entire software categories using natural language.
