Cursor receives financing with a valuation of nearly $10 billion, AI programming assistant is popular

Anysphere is in talks with venture capitalists to plan a new round of financing at a valuation of nearly $10 billion, Bloomberg reported.

It is worth noting that this round of financing is only three months after Anysphere's last successful financing, and the company completed a $100 million fundraising last time, with a valuation of $2.5 billion. TechCrunch was the first to disclose the news. If the new financing is successful, it is expected to be dominated by repeat investor Thrive Capital.

According to the New York Times, Anysphere's valuation at the last round was based on its $1 million annual recurring revenue (ARR). And at present, Anysphere's annual recurring revenue may have risen to $1.5 million. "Information" once reported that this means that if the financing is successful, the company's valuation will reach an astonishing 66 times its annual revenue.

Not only Anysphere, but other companies are also under the attention of investors. Codeium is a company that develops the AI ​​programming editor Windsurf, which is currently financing at a valuation of nearly $3 billion. TechCrunch reported last month that Kleiner Perkins is leading the financing of Codeium, which is valued at about 70 times based on its $40 million annual revenue.

Investors believe that among many industries, AI technology has the fastest development of programming tools, surpassing its application in sales, law, medical and other fields. Recently, it has been reported that Poolside, another AI programming company that develops its own large language model, has also attracted the attention of investors, but the company has not responded to it yet.
