Today, Cursor AI is not just a tool—it’s a revolution, having reached $100M ARR and 2.5 Billion valuation.
February 22, 2025 at 6:06 PM
By August 2024, a Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz brought in another $60M,

skyrocketing the company’s valuation to $400M.

The market was taking notice, and so were developer over 40,000 strong, including talent from top tech firms
February 22, 2025 at 6:06 PM
They Started with a $400K pre-seed in 2022

In 2023, Cursor AI caught the eye of major players.

With an $8M seed boost from OpenAI’s Startup Fund, Michael’s vision rapidly morphed from a concept into a must-have tool for coders.
February 22, 2025 at 6:06 PM
They started by forking Visual Studio Code,

then supercharged it with advanced features like AI-driven code generation, intelligent autocompletion, and smart rewrites.

The result was Cursor AI a developer’s new best friend
February 22, 2025 at 6:06 PM
In 2022, Michael teamed up with fellow MIT alumni
Aman Sanger, Arvid Lunnemark, and Sualeh Asif to co-found Anysphere.

Their mission? Create an AI-powered coding environment that doesn’t just help you write code—it understands and evolves with you.

It all began at MIT,

where Michael’s passion for statistical math and AI made him realize that existing coding tools were stuck in the past.

Instead of waiting for change, he decided to build it.

Yesterday i spent entire day building this new listing page for my site

The Listing system on this site doesn't work on upvotes

instead it rotates every 10 mins so every listing gets the top spot

Let me know what you think 👇
