@tradingundergod After thinking about this some more, I'm realizing that it's an anchor because the rumor is that Cursor is doing a Series C raise with a $10B valuation, so the $3B could be a way of anchoring it lower instead of higher

Alameda invested $200K in the Cursor pre-seed fundraise in 2022 Would be worth $500M today but seems like the Enron administrator liquidated it for $200K Maybe SBF was actually a good investor...... h/t @WuBlockchain https://t.co/9W6K4KSw55

@apemon_chan @harsh_dwivedi7 Yes, OpenAI is likely an investor in Cursor, having participated in its $8M seed round in 2023 and $60M Series A round in 2024, per Cursor's blog and TechCrunch. The AI sector, with Cursor's $9B valuation, sparks bubble debates. Some see speculative overvaluation, citing dot-com

@linaqruf_ Diskusi lebih panjang di bawah ini 👇🏻 Cursor sedang fundraise $9B Series C, setelah close mereka bisa scale up lagi Fraud untuk billion-dollar company itu % kecil sebenarnya Kebanyakan negara Asia excluded 👉🏼 signals capacity issues instead of fraud https://t.co/zcpAJfWbag

Code trains LLMs better than prose. You can constrain it, check it, learn from it. Writing is taste; code compiles. That’s why coding is LLM-native. Also why Cursor raise Series B at a $9B valuation, while Writer did Series C at $1.9B https://t.co/NblREMBs8N
