Why bet on Ruby?
Ruby is where startups grow. The companies that scaled on Ruby and Rails are the products we use daily: Shopify, Coinbase, Figma, and Chime are public, and Stripe runs a 50-million-line Ruby monolith.
A wave of unicorns is right behind them, from Fin, Gusto, and Persona to Checkr, Apollo and Factorial, and a new generation is shipping leaner than ever: Whop reached a $1.6B valuation with 15 engineers and SurgeAI reached $1.4B run rate, with less than 100 people - both on Rails.
The San Francisco Ruby Startup Conference is for people behind the present and the future stories of success on Ruby.
