Cursor Shelves IPO Plans After Reaching $1 Billion Revenue and Raising $2.3 Billion

The AI coding startup plans to channel new capital into product-specific models with stronger enterprise cost management.

Overview

  • CEO Michael Truell said at Fortune’s Brainstorm AI conference that the company is not pursuing a near-term public listing, emphasizing product development instead.
  • Cursor hit $1 billion in annualized revenue in November and last month secured $2.3 billion in funding at a $29.3 billion valuation.
  • The company is pairing top external models with proprietary, product-specific LLMs, which it says now generate more code than almost any other models.
  • After shifting from flat subscriptions to usage-based pricing in July, Anysphere is rolling out spend controls, billing groups, and usage visibility to help enterprises manage API costs.
  • The roadmap targets agentic, end-to-end tasks like complex bug fixes and a pivot to team-focused workflows, as big AI providers launch rival tools and a new Linux Foundation group pursues agent interoperability standards.
