Expo is an open-source platform powering React Native development for over 3 million developers worldwide, providing the full lifecycle of tools needed to build, deploy, and maintain universal native applications for iOS, Android, and the web. Founded in 2015 by early Facebook engineer and Quora co-founder Charlie Cheever alongside James Ide, the company offers both local development tooling and cloud infrastructure for builds, over-the-air updates, and runtime monitoring at scale. Alongside its Series B, Expo launched Expo Agent, an AI-assisted development tool that helps humans and AI build truly native, production-ready apps together—understanding platform-specific patterns, configurations, and native integration constraints that generic coding assistants miss.
