Amjad Masad.

Amjad Masad is the Co-Founder and CEO of Replit, the collaborative browser-based coding platform and AI coding assistant used by over 30 million developers, students, and creators.

Masad co-founded Replit in 2016 with Haya Odeh, building a platform that lets anyone write, run, and deploy code entirely in the browser-eliminating the complex setup traditionally required for software development. With the launch of Replit Agent, an AI coding assistant, Replit has positioned itself at the frontier of AI-assisted software development, enabling non-programmers to build functional applications through natural language instructions. The company has been valued at over $1 billion and has raised significant funding from Andreessen Horowitz and others. Born in Jordan, Masad previously worked at Facebook on the React Native team and at Codecademy. His vision of making software creation as accessible as writing a document has profound implications for global economic participation-if anyone can build software regardless of technical background, the potential for entrepreneurship and innovation expands dramatically. Replit's combination of accessibility, AI, and cloud-based infrastructure makes it one of the most important developer platforms of the AI era.
