## Post

🥁 ... The people closest to a problem should be able to build the software that solves it. That belief drives what we’re building at Replit and our collaboration with @Microsoft (@msft4startups).

Together, we’re helping more people turn their ideas and expertise into useful applications, connected to the tools their organizations already use.

Thank you to Microsoft for this recognition, and to the customers, builders, and teams putting Replit to work every day.

We’re at @Microsoft Ignite next week. Come meet the team and see what you could build.
