AI coding startup Cursor is reportedly in talks to raise over $2 billion at a $50 billion pre-money valuation. Thrive and Andreessen Horowitz expected to lead the round, with Battery Ventures and Nvidia participating.
Four-year-old AI coding startup Cursor is nearing a major funding round that would raise at least $2 billion at a $50 billion pre-money valuation, nearly doubling its previous $29.3 billion post-money valuation from six months ago. Returning investors Thrive and Andreessen Horowitz are expected to lead, with Battery Ventures and strategic investor Nvidia also participating. The company forecasts ending 2026 with over $6 billion in annualized revenue, implying a tripling of revenue over 10 months. Cursor reached $2 billion in annualized revenue in February. The startup recently achieved slight gross margin profitability through its proprietary Composer model and use of less expensive models like China's Kimi, after previously operating at negative gross margins.
