Founder of Bolt.New and StackBlitz, making software development conversational.

## About

Eric Simons builds tools that change how people write code. As the creator of Bolt.New, he built a platform that lets anyone generate software through simple conversation. The product took off instantly, growing to eight million users in just six months.

He also co-founded StackBlitz, the team behind WebContainers—a technology that runs development environments natively in the browser. His work focuses on making software creation more accessible, and he regularly speaks about shipping AI features that solve real problems for real users.
