About Cursor

Cursor operates as an AI-powered code editor designed to enhance software development productivity. The company was founded in 2023 by Michael Truell, Sualeh Asif, Arvid Lunnemark, and Aman Sanger, and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

The company's primary product is an integrated development environment that incorporates artificial intelligence capabilities to assist developers with code generation, debugging, and editing tasks. Cursor's editor is built on Visual Studio Code's foundation but adds AI-native features including natural language code generation and contextual code suggestions.

Cursor raised $8 million in Series A funding in 2024 led by Anysphere. The company has gained adoption among individual developers and small development teams seeking AI-assisted coding tools.
