$80m to bring the next billion software creators online

Thu Dec 9 2021 by Amjad Masad

Following our Series A announcement earlier this year, I'm thrilled
to announce that we raised Series B financing from new and existing
investors. This year alone we've doubled our user base to reach 10m+
users, tripled concurrent containers on our network, and grew traffic
to sites and apps on the network by orders of magnitude. This is a
major milestone for our team & community.

Our mission is to bring the next billion software creators online. To
advance towards this mission we will be investing in the following
areas:

 1. Build the world's most ubiquitous programming environment.
 2. Inspire creativity and generate value for creators through
    community.
 3. Design simple yet scalable infrastructure primitives for the next
    generation of creators.

If this speaks to you, consider joining our team. At 40, we're still
small with an outsized impact on the world. It's a perfect time to
join.

Additionally, as part of this, we're excited expand our giving to the
open-source projects that help us deliver on our vision:

  * $100k to FreeCodeCamp
  * $25k to the Nix Foundation
  * $10k to the Rust Foundation
  * Recurring donations to projects including CodeMirror, Vite,
    Emmet, and many others

Ubiquity

To reach a billion people we will build tools that scale the entire
globe. Tools that anyone can use regardless of their device and which
technology stack they prefer. In the next year expect Replit to
become faster, more portable, and able to run more and more software.

Moreover, we're excited to explore the future of AI-assisted coding
with a special emphasis on code comprehension.

Community

We wouldn't be here without our lovely community. They've been
invaluable partners in building and growing Replit and will be a big
part of our future. To that end, we want to ensure that Replit is the
best place for people to make meaningful connections around code. A
place to build, learn, and earn, together.

apps

We're also looking forward to investing directly in creators from our
community through programs like Ventures. More on this soon.

Primitives

Building on DB, Auth, and our compute infrastructure we want to
continue investing in simple yet scalable components that let people
build and compose software seamlessly. Our north star vision is to
shorten the distance between idea and product to its absolute
essence. By thinking of a good idea, you should be half the way
towards realizing it.
