When you're focused on building a great product, you’re willing to wait for the customer. For Quinn Slack, Co-Founder and CEO of Sourcegraph, this philosophy shaped the company’s journey. Sourcegraph, a code intelligence platform, took five years to land its first big customer—a challenge many startups face. But the team never wavered—they knew they had created something truly valuable, even if it took time for the right companies to recognize it.
This patience paid off. As Sourcegraph evolved, they honed their product for big enterprises—companies with complex codebases like Uber, Reddit, and Facebook. With a focus on building something engineers truly love, Sourcegraph’s innovative code search tool became essential for developers. The platform’s AI-powered solutions, including their AI assistant, Cody, are now helping millions of engineers better understand and automate their code, streamlining everything from debugging to refactoring.
With a team passionate about making code easier to navigate and more accessible, Sourcegraph is positioning itself as the go-to platform for developers. As the company continues to grow, Quinn remains focused on what really matters: product innovation.
