In a blow to Google Cloud, Replit partners with Microsoft


Replit is one of the breakout stars of the vibe coding world. This partnership is a good deal for both companies.

Microsoft famously offers its own hugely popular vibe coder with Github Copilot, but Replit doesn’t really compete with it too much as they are geared toward different users and somewhat different use cases. It last raised $97.4 million — led by Andreessen Horowitz with participation from Khosla, Coatue, SV Angel, Y Combinator, Bloomberg Beta, Naval Ravikant, and ARK Ventures — at a $1.1 post-money valuation. However, this deal is non-exclusive, Replit confirmed to TechCrunch, meaning that the startup is not leaving Google Cloud, but is growing to support Microsoft shops.
