Biography
João Moura is a Brazilian software engineering leader with nearly 20 years of experience who founded CrewAI in October 2023 after building autonomous AI agents at Clearbit that generated 600+ inbound leads per day. Before CrewAI he was Director of AI Engineering at Clearbit (acquired by HubSpot), Engineering Manager at Toptal, and Lead Software Engineer at Packlane. CrewAI — a lean Python framework for orchestrating role-playing, collaborative AI agents built from scratch without LangChain dependencies — raised an $18M Series A led by Insight Partners in October 2024 with angels including Andrew Ng and Dharmesh Shah. By early 2026 the platform processes over 2 billion agentic workflows, running at 475M+ automations per month, with 150+ enterprise customers.
Open-source Python framework for orchestrating role-playing, autonomous AI agents — built from scratch without LangChain dependencies. Empowers developers to define agents with roles, goals, and backstories that collaborate on complex tasks. Has grown to 100k+ GitHub stars and underpins 2B+ agentic workflows as of early 2026.
Launched in October 2024, the Enterprise Cloud enables companies to deploy, monitor, and manage hundreds or thousands of AI agents in production. Addresses enterprise needs around provisioning, authentication, observability, and self-healing environments. Backed by 150+ enterprise customers within months of launch.
Co-designed a course on multi-agent systems with Andrew Ng on DeepLearning.AI (May 2024), teaching developers how to build enterprise-level AI workflows using the CrewAI framework. Significantly accelerated adoption among practitioners.
Established a strategic partnership with IBM (November 2023) to scale AI agent adoption across large enterprises, integrating CrewAI into IBM's enterprise AI stack and validating the framework as production-ready infrastructure.
AI agents will create MORE wealth than SaaS. Not only by replacing software, but by automating entire processes.
Fully autonomous departments backed by AI? That was some of the most exciting things I've worked on.
