Amjad Masad, CEO and co-founder of Replit, joins the Disrupt Stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

The AI boom has made it possible for a significantly wider range of people to dip into development, create code, and launch software for the first time. There are pros and cons to this, even for established developers who are being pushed to use it to produce work faster.

Replit sits at the center of this evolution, and when its CEO and co-founder, Amjad Masad, takes center stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, he’ll speak about the future of programming and the wide-ranging implications of a world in which ideas can be easily turned into products.

Join the audience to watch our wide-ranging discussion with Masad at San Francisco’s Moscone West from October 13–15. You’ll also catch the rest of our excellent Disrupt lineup across six stages that address the most pressing questions facing the startup community, including, most critically, how do you build a sustainable company in the AI era?

Why Replit is joining the Disrupt Stage

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 a billion dollars annually, compared with just $2.8 million in reported revenue in 2024.
