“Hoping that this is the next... Michael Truell or something. Who's the founder of Cursor.”

“Cursor had reached roughly $4 billion in annualized revenue in under four years.”

“Cursor once accounted for 40% to 50% of Anthropic's revenue, uses unpaid 'work trials' to vet hires, and is weighing a potential $60 billion sale to SpaceX after Anthropic's Claude Code became a serious rival.”
