Replit CEO Amjad Masad to headline TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

The company’s trajectory has mirrored the broader AI explosion. Founded a decade ago, Replit has seen its most significant transformation over the last 18 months, with revenue climbing from $2.8 million in 2024 toward a billion-dollar annual run-rate. Investors have responded to this growth with aggressive confidence, pushing the company’s valuation to $9 billion—a threefold increase from its $3 billion mark just six months prior. Masad’s keynote will move beyond these financial milestones to examine the practical reality of building sustainable companies in an era where prototyping is increasingly automated.

Disrupt 2026 runs from October 13–15 at Moscone West, featuring six distinct stages covering infrastructure, security, and the integration of AI into physical systems. Attendees can secure promotional pricing on tickets until 11:59 p.m. PT on August 25. For those navigating the so-called SaaSpocalypse or seeking to scale their own startups, the event serves as a hub for the 10,000 founders and investors expected to gather for the three-day summit.
