Replit's CEO says over half his company will be salespeople by year end
SaaStr·medium signal
Amjad Masad posted that he thought he hated sales culture, and that by the end of 2026 more than half of Replit will be in sales. SaaStr's August 22 piece uses it to argue the AI-era change is timing, not elimination: PLG companies including Replit, Gamma, Lovable and Anthropic still end up with sales teams, they just scale them later once self-serve revenue plateaus. Useful counterweight to the "AI removes GTM headcount" thesis, from a founder with no incentive to say it.
