Zed Industries

Zed Industries is a developer-tools company founded in 2021 by Nathan Sobo, Antonio Scandurra, and Max Brunsfeld — the team that built GitHub's Atom editor and the Tree-sitter incremental parsing framework. After years of research into conflict-free replicated data types through Atom's real-time collaboration features, the founders rebuilt the code editor from scratch in Rust to pursue the performance and multiplayer-native design that web-based editor architectures made difficult to achieve.
