Campbell, CA – [Sept 5, 2024] – Zencoder, a pioneering startup transforming the software development landscape, is excited to announce its selection for TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2024. Out of thousands of applicants, Zencoder was chosen to showcase its innovation at TechCrunch Disrupt (Oct. 28-30), placing it among the top data-driven startups in the industry. Founded by seasoned entrepreneur Andrew Filev, an AI visionary and founder and former CEO of Wrike (acquired by Citrix for $2.25B in 2021), Zencoder aims to transform how developers write, debug, and optimize code, bringing unprecedented efficiency and accuracy to the coding process. 

Filev’s journey from founding Wrike to the forthcoming launch of Zencoder highlights his continued dedication to transforming industries through innovative software.

“Being chosen for TechCrunch Startup Battlefield is a testament to the groundbreaking work we’re doing at Zencoder. Just as Wrike revolutionized collaborative work, Zencoder is set to reshape software development.
