What they're building
One of the clearest examples of AI completely reshaping an existing professional workflow. Cursor grew from a VS Code fork to the default AI code editor for millions of developers, crossed $1B in annualized revenue faster than any software company before it, and now trains its own models (Composer) alongside frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic.
Latest developments
- Raised ~$3.4B in total; last priced at $29.3B (November 2025).
- Composer, Cursor's in-house coding model, powers its fastest agent mode.
- Background agents and cloud agents extend Cursor beyond the editor.
Why it matters
Cursor shows what happens when a product becomes the place where AI work actually gets done. It is the layer the frontier labs compete to be inside.
