FoundryLabs, Inc.
E2B provides open-source, secure cloud infrastructure purpose-built for AI agents, giving every enterprise AI agent its own cloud computer with real-world tools to perform multi-step tasks safely, transparently, and flexibly.
Founding Story
Founded in 2023 by childhood friends Vasek Mlejnsky and Tomas Valenta who had been collaborating since 6th grade. Originally started as DevBook, focused on creating interactive documentation and playgrounds for developers. In March 2023, following the release of GPT-3.5, they faced a critical problem while building their coding agent - spinning up VMs took too long and existing infrastructure wasn't suitable for AI agents. They pivoted from DevBook to E2B (English to Bits), shifting focus from hosting full agents to providing the infrastructure layer - secure cloud sandboxes for code execution. The company moved headquarters from Prague to San Francisco to be closer to the AI ecosystem, though recently reopened an office in Prague.
