Replit — Startup Profile
Build software collaboratively from your browser — AI-native development for everyone
HQ: San Francisco, CA | Founded: 2016 | Employees: 250+ | Stage: Series C | Website: https://replit.com
About
Replit is an AI-powered cloud development environment that enables users to build, collaborate on, and deploy software applications entirely from the browser. Founded in 2016 by Amjad Masad, Faris Masad, and Haya Odeh, the platform has grown to serve over 30 million users. In 2025, Replit launched Replit Agent, an AI system capable of generating complete applications from natural language descriptions. The company raised a Series C round in 2025 at a $3 billion valuation, led by Andreessen Horowitz, bringing total funding to over $150 million.
The Take
Replit has evolved from a browser-based coding playground into a serious AI-native development platform. The launch of Replit Agent — capable of scaffolding and deploying full-stack applications from natural language — puts it at the center of the vibe-coding movement. Its massive user base (30M+) provides a powerful distribution moat, but monetization at scale and competition from Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf remain open questions.
