The Axon team collaborating in their San Francisco office

About

Built by developers,
for developers

Axon started as an internal tool at a small engineering team tired of context-switching. Today it powers thousands of teams worldwide.

"We believe the best code editor is the one that disappears  leaving only you and your ideas."

The small team building the future of AI-assisted development.

Sarah Kim

CEO & Co-founder

Sarah spent six years at Stripe building developer tooling before co-founding Axon. She believes the best products get out of the way, and that great software should feel inevitable.

Marcus Reid

CTO & Co-founder

Marcus led infrastructure at Vercel before leaving to build the editor he always wished existed. He writes more code today than he did as an IC, and considers that a good sign.
