Anysphere, the maker of AI-powered coding tool cursors, has raised $900 million in new funding led by Thrive Capital, citing an anonymous source familiar with the deal.
Andreessen Horowitz (A16Z) and Accel also took part in the round, which values Anysphere at around $9 billion.
Cursor raised $105 million from Thrive and A16Z at a valuation of $2.5 billion, TechCrunch reported in December. Thrive Capital also led the round, with A16Z also taking part. According to data from CrunchBase, the startup has raised more than $173 million in funding so far.
Investors, including index ventures and benchmarks, are said to be in a hurry to support the company, but it seems that existing investors at Anysphere don’t want to miss the opportunity to support it either.
Other AI-powered coding startups are also attracting investors’ interest. TechCrunch reported in February that Anysphere rival Windsurf is being debated to raise funds at a $3 billion valuation. Anysphere investor Openai reportedly was trying to get Windsurf for roughly the same value.
