<p id="speakable-summary" class="wp-block-paragraph">AI coding startup Cursor is nearing new funding in which the four-year-old company would raise at least $2 billion in fresh capital, according to four sources familiar with the matter. Returning investors Thrive and Andreessen Horowitz are expected to lead the financing at a $50 billion valuation, prior to the new capital injection, the people said.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Battery Ventures, a new investor, may also participate in the financing, according to two sources. Strategic investor Nvidia is also expected to write a check, one person said.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although the round is already oversubscribed, the deal terms are not final and may still change.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The financing, if completed, would nearly double Cursor’s previous <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/13/coding-assistant-cursor-raises-2-3b-5-months-after-its-previous-round/">$29.3 billion post-money valuation</a>, assigned to the company during its last fundraise six months ago.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite fierce competition from other AI-coding offerings, such as Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s revamped Codex, Cursor’s revenue continues to climb rapidly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cursor forecasts ending 2026 with an annualized revenue run rate of more than $6 billion, two people said. This trajectory implies the company expects to at least triple its annualized revenue over the next 10 months. In February, Cursor reached $2 billion in annualized revenue, calculated by projecting its most recent monthly sales over a year, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-02/cursor-recurring-revenue-doubles-in-three-months-to-2-billion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Bloomberg reported</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like many AI-coding startups reliant on third-party models, Cursor operated at <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/07/the-high-costs-and-thin-margins-threatening-ai-coding-startups/" target="_blank">negative gross margins</a> until recently, meaning it cost more to run the product than the startup could charge for it. The introduction of a proprietary <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/09/why-cursors-ceo-believes-openai-anthropic-competition-wont-crush-his-startup/">Composer model</a> last November, along with the ability to call on less expensive models like China’s Kimi, has helped the company achieve slight gross margin profitability, the people said.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On a more granular level, the company has reached positive gross margins on its sales to large enterprises, but continues to lose money on individual developer accounts, according to one person.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By relying less on outside providers, Cursor is trying to avoid being replaced by its own suppliers, most notably Anthropic, whose Claude Code has emerged as the startup’s main rival.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cursor and Battery Ventures declined comment. Thrive, a16z, and Nvidia didn’t respond to request for comment. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cursor, previously known as Anysphere, was co-founded in 2022 by Michael Truell, Sualeh Asif, Arvid Lunnemark, and Aman Sanger while they were students at MIT.</p>
