Full Details

AI-coding startup Cursor is in advanced talks to raise at least $2 billion in new funding at a $50 billion valuation, according to sources familiar with the matter. The round is expected to be led by returning investors Thrive Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, valuing the company prior to the new capital injection. Despite fierce competition from Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex, Cursor's revenue continues to climb rapidly, with forecasts projecting an annualized revenue run rate exceeding $6 billion by the end of 2026. The company had already reached $2 billion in annualized revenue as of February 2026, calculated by projecting its most recent monthly sales over a year. Notably, Cursor had been operating at negative gross margins until recently, meaning it cost more to run the product than the startup could charge for it, but this appears to be improving with scale.
