Cursor, the maker of the AI coding editor, is in talks to raise about $2 billion at a valuation above $50 billion. (bloomberg.com) Bloomberg reported the talks on April 17, 2026, and TechCrunch reported the round would be at least $2 billion, with Andreessen Horowitz and Thrive Capital expected to lead. (bloomberg.com) (techcrunch.com) The company behind Cursor is Anysphere, a San Francisco startup founded in 2022. Cursor said in June 2025 that it had raised $900 million at a $9.9 billion valuation and passed $500 million in annual recurring revenue. (cursor.com) (techcrunch.com) By November 2025, Cursor had raised $2.3 billion at a $29.3 billion valuation, and the company said it had crossed $1 billion in annualized revenue. Reuters reported that sales-led revenue had increased 100-fold since the start of 2025. (cnbc.com) (uk.finance.yahoo.com) In plain terms, Cursor sells software that helps programmers write, edit, and search through code with artificial intelligence inside the editor. The product sits in the daily workflow of engineers, which gives a company like Anysphere frequent usage and a direct path to paid subscriptions and enterprise contracts. (cnbc.com) (cursor.com) The revenue pace is the part investors are chasing. Bloomberg reported in March 2026 that Cursor had reached $2 billion in annualized recurring revenue, roughly doubling from $1 billion in about three months. (inc.com) That growth has pushed AI coding tools into the center of venture funding. Cursor’s June 2025 investors included Thrive, Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, and DST, and its November 2025 round added Coatue, Nvidia, and Google. (cursor.com) (cnbc.com) Cursor has also pitched itself as an enterprise software company, not only a consumer coding app. In June 2025, the company said it was used by more than half of the Fortune 500, including Nvidia, Uber, and Adobe. (cursor.com) The new financing has not been announced, and terms can still change before a deal closes. If it goes through near the reported price, Cursor would move from a $29.3 billion valuation in November 2025 to more than $50 billion five months later. (bloomberg.com) (cnbc.com)
