Vibe-coding sensation Replit has hit another funding milestone. The company announced<\/a> Wednesday that it raised a $400 million Series D at a $9 billion valuation, led by previous investor Georgian Partners. Other participating investors include G Squared, Prysm Capital, Coatue, Andreessen Horowitz, Craft Ventures, Y Combinator, Accenture Ventures, Okta Ventures, and Databricks Ventures.<\/p>\n Founder and CEO Amjad Masad also said in a post on X<\/a> that backers include angel investors Shaquille O\u2019Neal and Jared Leto.<\/p>\n This follows the $3 billion valuation the startup hit in September<\/a>, when it raised a $250 million round. At that time, Replit said it was on track for $150 million in annualized revenue. Replit did not release updated, current ARR figures, but the company told Forbes<\/a> it hopes to hit annual recurring revenue of $1 billion by the end of the year.<\/p>\n While Replit\u2019s recent rise has been meteoric, Masad previously told TechCrunch<\/a> that it took nine years of grinding \u2014 and a controversial decision to pivot from serving professional developers towards non-programs \u2014 to find its groove.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
