Cursor Acquisition

Cursor was acquired by SpaceX for $60B on 15 June 2026.

The acquisition price implies a 15.0x revenue multiple on $4B of revenue.

Before the acquisition Cursor had raised $3.4B across 6 funding rounds.

SpaceX agreed to acquire Anysphere, the company behind Cursor, for $60 billion in an all-stock transaction. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026 and is structured entirely in stock, with SpaceX previously indicating an alternative option of a $10 billion partnership; if the acquisition did not proceed, SpaceX would owe a $1.5 billion fee plus $8.5 billion in computing resources. The transaction is intended to strengthen SpaceX’s position in enterprise AI tools and AI coding, leveraging its high valuation to limit equity dilution. Anysphere, founded in 2022 and based in San Francisco, has grown rapidly on the back of Cursor’s adoption in enterprise software development. Reuters reported the company was generating about $4 billion in ARR. The company has drawn backing from major Silicon Valley investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive, Nvidia, and Google. Reports also indicated it had been exploring a new funding round at a $50 billion valuation before the acquisition announcement.

Nov 2025Series DAccel (lead); Coatue (lead); NVIDIA; Andreessen Horowitz; Thrive Capital; DST Global; Alphabet$2.3B$29BCursor, an AI development platform founded in 2022, raised $2.3 billion in its Series D funding round in November 2025 at a $29.3 billion post-money valuation. The round was co-led by Accel and Coatue, with participation from existing investors Thrive Capital, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), DST Global, and new investors NVIDIA and Google. The funding will support technical research, product development including the Composer AI model, frontier model training, and team expansion across San Francisco and New York offices, where the company now has over 250 employees. Cursor serves millions of developers, over 50,000 teams, and the majority of Fortune 500 companies, with enterprise revenue growing 100x in 2025 YTD. Cursor has exceeded $1 billion in annualized revenue as of the Series D announcement and continues rapid growth amid competition in AI coding tools from players like OpenAI and Anthropic.
Jun 2025Series CThrive Capital (lead); Andreessen Horowitz; Accel; DST Global$900M$9.9BAnysphere, the company behind the AI-powered coding assistant Cursor, raised $900 million in a Series C funding round led by Thrive Capital, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Accel, and DST Global. The round valued the company at $9.9 billion post-money, up significantly from its prior $2.5-2.6 billion valuation in late 2024. This matches the specified investors and approximate date of early June 2025. Cursor achieved over $500 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) as of the round announcement, up from $300 million in April 2025, driven by tiered subscriptions, enterprise licensing, and adoption by over half of the Fortune 500 including NVIDIA, Uber, and Adobe. The company has raised over $2 billion total since founding. The funding supports advancement in AI coding research amid high investor interest in AI developer tools, with Cursor noted for rapid growth and turning down acquisition offers.
Dec 2024Series BThrive Capital (lead); OpenAI Startup Fund; Benchmark; Andreessen Horowitz$105M$2.6BAnysphere, the developer of the AI-powered code editor Cursor, raised $105 million in Series B funding led by Thrive Capital in December 2024, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Benchmark, and existing investors. The round valued the company at $2.5 billion, a sixfold increase from its Series A valuation of $400 million just four months earlier in August 2024. The company's flagship product Cursor leverages proprietary models alongside large language models from OpenAI and Anthropic to assist developers with code completion, code generation, and increasingly autonomous coding capabilities. Cursor offers a freemium model with tiered pricing—$20 per month for pro users and $40 per month for business subscriptions—and has achieved widespread adoption across major technology companies including OpenAI, Midjourney, Perplexity, Shopify, and Instacart. Cursor's revenue growth has been extraordinary, scaling from $1 million ARR in 2023 to $100 million ARR by the end of 2024, representing 9,900% year-over-year growth and making it the fastest-growing SaaS company to reach the $100 million ARR milestone in approximately 12 months. At the time of the Series B round, Cursor's valuation represented a 25x revenue multiple based on its $100 million ARR, down from approximately 20x at the Series A in June 2024 despite accelerating monthly revenue growth of around 54%. The company expanded its product capabilities with features enabling code prediction and generation of up to 10 minutes of programming, while also acquiring competitor Supermaven in November 2024 to consolidate its market position against competitors including GitHub's Copilot, Codeium, and Poolside.
Aug 2024Series AAndreessen Horowitz (lead); Thrive Capital (lead); OpenAI Startup Fund; Noam Brown; Patrick Collison; Jeff Dean$60M$400MCursor is an AI-powered coding assistant that has rapidly scaled as a SaaS developer tool, competing with GitHub Copilot and achieving hypergrowth in the AI developer tools market. Launched around late 2023, it provides AI-assisted programming environments, initially targeting individual developers before shifting to enterprise customers, which now represent a significant portion of its revenue. In August 2024, Cursor raised a Series A round at a $400 million post-money valuation, backed by investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Thrive Capital, aligning with the specified lead investors and approximate date of 09/08/2024. This followed a seed round in October 2023 at an implied ~$50M valuation. The company had demonstrated strong early traction, reaching $48M ARR by October 2024, up from $4M annualized run-rate in April 2024 and $1M ARR in December 2023. Cursor's growth continued post-Series A, hitting $100M ARR by January 2025 during its Series B at $2.6B valuation, with total funding reaching $173M. It amassed over 1 million users, including 360,000 paying customers, and became the fastest-growing SaaS to reach $100M ARR in 12 months from launch. Enterprise adoption accelerated, accounting for 60% of revenue by early 2026. Subsequent milestones included $500M ARR by June 2025, $1B ARR by November 2025, and $2B ARR by February 2026, with reports of a Series D at $29.3B valuation. Despite rapid scaling, challenges emerged with high costs to AI model providers like Anthropic, reportedly exceeding revenue at certain points, prompting development of proprietary models like Composer to improve margins. The company's trajectory positions it as a leader in AI coding tools, outpacing traditional IDEs and rivals, with potential for further funding or IPO amid ongoing hypergrowth.
Jul 2023SeedOpenAI Startup Fund (lead); Heroic Ventures; Nat Friedman; Arash Ferdowsi$8M-Cursor (by Anysphere) initially raised an $8 million seed round in October 2023. Led by OpenAI’s Startup Fund with participation from figures like former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman, this early capital fueled the development of their flagship AI-powered code editor. Since that initial $8 million seed round, Cursor’s growth exploded, transforming it from a niche startup to one of the most highly valued AI coding companies in the industry
