From Hackathon to $100M AI Startup — The Story of Cline
What started as a project at a hackathon has become one of the most popular AI coding tools in the world. Cline — originally known as “Claude Dev” — grew from fewer than 100,000 installs to over 3.5 million across the VS Code and JetBrains ecosystems, transforming how developers interact with AI in their daily workflows.
In this session, Nick Bauman, Founding Team Member at Cline and Product Marketer passionate about innovation in the coding layer, will share the inside story of Cline’s explosive growth:
How a hackathon idea evolved into a $100M AI startup.
Key lessons learned from open source to global scale.
How Cline is pulling the future forward by innovating at the core: the code editor.
✨ At the end of the talk, Nick will officially launch the AI Buildathon, a space to experiment and build real AI solutions during Mexico Tech Week.
