The Replit Story: X Years in the Making, Then Everything Changed
🏗️ Founded in 2016 by Amjad Masad, Replit spent years as a browser-based coding platform struggling to monetize. By 2022: just $1M ARR. End of 2024: $10M ARR.
🚀 Then Replit Agent launched in September 2024 - enabling anyone to build full apps with natural language prompts.
📈 The result? $10M to $100M ARR in X months. 10x growth. XX% monthly subscriber growth since Agent launch.
💡 The lesson: Sometimes you build the infrastructure for years, waiting for the right moment. When AI models became powerful enough in late 2024, Replit was perfectly positioned to capture the "vibe coding" revolution.
🎯 From coding playground to $100M ARR rocket ship. XXX employees. No new funding needed since 2023.
⏰ Classic overnight success story - except it took X years to become overnight.
