Replit, Inc.
To empower anyone to bring their digital ideas to life, regardless of their technical background. Replit makes software creation accessible to everyone, enabling creators to build applications using natural language and AI.
Founding Story
The idea began when Amjad Masad was 12 years old building software for gaming cafes in Jordan with limited access to technology. In 2011, while at Yahoo!, Masad and classmate Max Shawabkeh created an open-source cloud-based coding environment called repl.it (later renamed Replit). After working at Codecademy and Facebook (as a founding engineer for React Native), Masad officially incorporated Replit as a company in 2016 after the open-source project reached 100,000 users organically. The company was rejected by Y Combinator three times before being accepted into the Winter 2018 batch. Replit was co-founded with his wife Haya Odeh and brother Faris Masad with the vision that anyone can create software by breaking down barriers between an idea and a finished product.
