Amjad Masad, CEO and co-founder of Replit, joins the Disrupt Stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026
The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence has fundamentally democratized software development, allowing a broader demographic of creators to build, iterate, and deploy applications. While this shift presents both opportunities and challenges—even for seasoned engineers facing pressure to accelerate their workflows—one platform stands at the epicenter of this transformation: Replit.
We are thrilled to announce that Amjad Masad, CEO and co-founder of Replit, will take the stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. Masad will offer his unique insights into the future of programming and discuss the profound implications of a world where turning a concept into a functional product is easier than ever before.
Join us at San Francisco’s Moscone West from October 13–15 to hear this exclusive discussion. Attendees will also gain access to a comprehensive lineup of sessions across six stages, all designed to tackle the most pressing questions for the startup ecosystem—most notably, how to build a truly sustainable business in the age of AI.

Replit’s Meteoric Rise
Replit’s growth trajectory has been nothing short of explosive, mirroring the broader AI boom. Although Masad launched the company a decade ago, the last 18 months have served as a period of unprecedented acceleration. The company is currently tracking toward an annual run-rate of $1 billion, a staggering leap from the $2.8 million in revenue reported in 2024.
However, our conversation with Masad will transcend mere financial metrics. We will explore his vision for the future of entrepreneurship and how Replit is evolving to ensure its platform does more than just facilitate prototyping—it empowers users to build and scale production-ready software.
Investors have clearly bought into this vision. Earlier this year, Replit reached a $9 billion valuation, tripling its $3 billion valuation from just six months prior. The burning question for the industry remains: Can Replit maintain this blistering pace, or will its current growth appear modest compared to what lies ahead in 2027?
