Not Boring Founders: Amjad Masad, Replit

"Age of Miracles" - A podcast by Packy McCormick | Turpentine

Amjad Masad is the co-founder and CEO of Replit. Replit's mission is to bring the next billion software creators online. The company believes that the ability to write code should be as ubiquitous as the ability to write essays -- and it wants to be the first place that anyone writes a line of code. In this wide-ranging, long-form conversation Amjad tells us of his roots in Jordan, how he first started making money with software, and why he think's there is still alpha in being authentic. His story is central to the story of Replit. In Packy's Deep Dive on Replit in December of 2021, he called that "Replit will be a $100B company" and after listening to today's conversation with Amjad, it's hard to not at least root for that.
