Amazon Web Services has acquired Fig, a small San Francisco-based startup that helps developers be more efficient and collaborative while using the command line.
- Fig has several products, including “Autocomplete,” and “Dotfiles” for managing shell configuration.
- In a blog post announcing the news, Fig co-founders Brendan Falk and Matt Schrage said they’ll continue supporting existing Fig users.
- “AWS believes that generative AI represents a major technological shift to transform the way its customers build, and we are beyond excited to be a part of that larger vision,” they wrote in the post.
- Founded in 2020, Fig graduated from Y Combinator that same year. It raised a $2.2 million seed round in 2021 from investors including General Catalyst, which led the round, and other tech execs. Falk and Schrage both attended Harvard University.
