About Zed

We're Zed Industries, a small and passionate team building the editor we've always wanted. We believe that programming is one of the most creative and impactful activities humans can engage in, and our tools should reflect that.

Our Vision

We envision a world where developers can code at the speed of thought — where the editor is fast enough to keep up with your ideas, intelligent enough to assist you, and collaborative enough to bring teams together seamlessly.

What We Believe

Responsiveness Matters

Software should respond instantly to every keystroke. Speed isn't a feature — it's the foundation.

Collaboration is Key

The best code comes from working together. Real-time collaboration should be built in, not bolted on.

AI as a Partner

AI should augment human creativity, not replace it. The future lies in fluent human-AI collaboration.

Open Source

Great tools should be open. We build in public and welcome contributions from the community.
