Replit’s rise has been explosive, mirroring the broader ascent of AI and the companies furthering its proliferation. Though Masad founded the company a decade ago, the past 18 months have marked the biggest changes, with the company’s current run-rate tracking toward abillion dollars annually, compared with just $2.8 million in reported revenue in 2024.

But this conversation is about much more than Replit’s revenue. Masad’s conversation will dive into his perspective about the future of programming, entrepreneurship, and how Replit ensures that its service is doing more than helping users prototype their ideas — it helps fully flesh them out, too.

Investors are convinced of Replit’s value to both nontechnical users and professional coders. They assigned the company a$9 billion valuationearlier this year, a mere six months after the company was assigned a $3 billion valuation.

Of course, the question is whether it can keep that momentum going — or whether its growth in 2026 will look quaint a year from now because it’s growing even faster.
