About
As Replit entered a phase of rapid user growth and revenue expansion in the first half of 2025, growing from $10m ARR to $100m ARR in 6 months, the volume of support tickets surged. To uphold platform reliability and user satisfaction, Replit needed to quickly build a global support organization across both technical support and non-technical (accounts & billing) functions.

Partnering with Elliot was one of the best decisions we made as we entered a period of hypergrowth at Replit. Their ability to handle our various needs, engage with our local teams, and build and manage a 24/7 global support team helped our users tremendously and had a positive impact on Replit's business.

The Company
The AI-powered development platform scaling at hyperspeed
Replit is a browser-based development platform that lets anyone build, deploy, and share software. With AI-native tools that make coding accessible to millions of users worldwide, Replit experienced one of the fastest growth trajectories in developer tooling, scaling from $10m to $100m in ARR in just six months. That growth brought an explosion in platform usage and, with it, a 6x year-over-year increase in support ticket volume across both technical and non-technical functions.
The Challenge
Hypergrowth without the support infrastructure to match
As Replit's user base surged, the existing support model could not keep pace. Technical issues spanning deployment failures, workspace errors, database interruptions, and AI agent debugging were flooding in alongside non-technical requests around billing, refunds, account access, and identity verification.
Replit needed to stand up a full global support organization, fast, across both technical and accounts/billing functions, with 24/7 coverage including weekends. The team had to be operational within weeks, not quarters, and had to integrate directly with Replit's engineering and product teams to create a feedback loop between user issues and platform improvements.

Choosing to work with Elliot was a pivotal decision for us at Replit. They quickly understood our needs, integrated well with our local teams, and built a round-the-clock global support team from the ground up.

The solution
A 15-person global support team built in 9 months
Elliot was engaged to build, operationalize, and manage a global support organization from scratch. Over a 9-month ramp-up period, Elliot scaled a 15-person team across India, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, providing Replit with true 24/7 coverage including weekends, with zero attrition.
The team is split across two functions. Technical support handles in-app issues, deployment failures, preview/debugging, database interruptions, and workspace errors. Accounts and billing support covers subscriptions, refunds, user verification, invoicing, and knowledge base management. Both teams operate through Zendesk, Slack, Front, Linear, Stripe, and Persona, fully integrated into Replit's existing toolchain. New hires go from resume to onboarding in under 10 days, and the support team acts as a first line of defense that reduces engineering load while feeding product insights back to Replit's core team.
The results
Elliot's global support team delivered measurable impact across every key metric while enabling Replit to scale with confidence during its fastest period of growth.
