About
Convex is a San Francisco-based application backend company that provides a collection of building blocks — including a TypeScript-native database — for developers to build custom software. The platform is optimized for AI agents, positioning itself as a backend where “the first thing that works” is correct by construction rather than subtly wrong 1. Convex was founded in 2021 by former members of Dropbox’s infrastructure engineering team, and its platform now powers nearly 2 million applications with customers including OpenAI and Zapier 12.

What Founders Say
“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. 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. Convex is that discipline packaged as a product.” — Jamie Turner, Co-Founder & CEO 1
