As part of the partnership, Replit will increase its use of Google's cloud services, hoping to win over more significant-scale corporate customers. Google will also distribute Replit's software, expanding the startup's reach.

Replit is a Jordanian-owned startup co-founded by Amjad Masad and Haya Odeh, who graduated from Jordanian schools and universities. The startup has more than 20 million users and has raised over $100 million.
