Our Story

We built Mastra because we wanted to help JavaScript and TypeScript developers build AI agents, without feeling like they need to learn a whole new ecosystem. Most AI tools today are built with Python in mind. Mastra is an open-source TypeScript framework that gives JavaScript and TypeScript developers everything they need to build and ship AI agents.

We're the same team behind Gatsby, one of the earliest frontend frameworks for modern web apps. We started Mastra in 2024–founded by Sam Bhagwat, Shane Thomas, and Abhi Aiyer–and we're lucky to be backed by some of the world's top venture firms, including YCombinator.

We're based in the Bay Area, but our team is spread across the globe. We're excited to keep building alongside the community and can't wait to see what you create with Mastra.
