Anysphere Lands $900M Financing at $9B Market Value to Advance Cursor AI Programming Platform

Anysphere, the developer behind the AI-powered coding assistant Cursor, has reportedly secured $900 million in new funding, valuing the company at $9 billion, according to the Financial Times. The round is led by Thrive Capital, with continued participation from Andreessen Horowitz and Accel.

This latest funding follows a $100 million raise in December at a $2.6 billion valuation, signaling surging investor confidence in Anysphere’s growth trajectory. The company’s AI-native developer environment has become a key player in the booming market for coding automation tools.

As interest intensifies across the AI coding space, existing backers — including OpenAI — are doubling down, while firms like Index Ventures and Benchmark are reportedly vying to join Anysphere’s cap table.
