Leadership Comments

"Agents reach for the first thing that works, and on most backends the first thing that works is subtly, silently wrong. You'll find out weeks later, in production," said Jamie Turner, co-founder and CEO of Convex. "We spent our careers at Dropbox learning what it takes to make a promise to hundreds of millions of users and keep it, every time.

"AI coding agents are changing how software gets built, but they can expose the weaknesses of traditional backends," said Teddie Wardi, Managing Director at Insight Partners. "Convex gives developers and agents a powerful foundation where the pieces work together and reliability is built in from the start.
