  • Summary

  • Amjad Masad's journey is defined by relentless persistence. Born and raised in Jordan, he borrowed computers to teach himself coding, and then earned money building software for local internet cafes. He applied to Y Combinator again and again, finally gaining acceptance on his fourth try. His constant drive fueled continuous improvement, culminating in the breakthrough success of Replit, the $1.1B company focused on empowering the next billion software creators.

    In this wide-ranging episode, Mike Maples, Jr. of Floodgate speaks with Masad about his journey from Jordan to Silicon Valley and the early days of Replit, how he always focused on figuring out the future of technology, the reasons some founders simply feel born to succeed, and why the 1997 book The Sovereign Individual resonates so loudly today.
