Overview
Cursor, developed by Anysphere, Inc., is an AI-native code editor forked from Visual Studio Code and launched in 2023. Founded by four MIT students—Michael Truell, Sualeh Asif, Arvid Lunnemark, and Aman Sanger—and headquartered in San Francisco, the company positions Cursor as a full AI pair-programmer rather than an autocomplete add-on. Core capabilities include repository-wide semantic codebase indexing, autonomous multi-file agentic editing via Composer, parallel cloud agent execution, a specialized Tab autocomplete model, and integrated PR code review through Bugbot. Cursor supports frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI, alongside its own proprietary Composer 2 model. By late 2025 it surpassed $1 billion ARR and $2 billion ARR by February 2026, serving over 1 million daily active users and more than half of the Fortune 500, while achieving a $29.3 billion valuation in its Series D.
