# Cursor AI Targets $2B+ Series D Funding at $50B+ Valuation

> Cursor, the AI coding tool, is reportedly in talks to raise more than $2 billion in a Series D at a valuation above $50 billion, co-led by Andreessen Horowitz with Nvidia and Thrive Capital participating. The pace of its business helps explain the number: Cursor hit $2 billion in annualized revenue in February 2026 and forecasts finishing the year north of a $6 billion run rate, extraordinary growth for a company only about three years old. The valuation trajectory is almost comically steep, from a $900 million round and a $2.3 billion raise at a $29.3 billion valuation to a $50 billion-plus target within months. Hovering over all of it is a twist: SpaceX announced in June that it would acquire Cursor in an all-stock deal valued at $60 billion, expected to close in the third quarter of 2026. That makes the fundraising both a sign of Cursor's standalone strength and a data point in Elon Musk's rapidly expanding AI empire. Either way, Cursor has become the clearest evidence that AI coding tools can turn into some of the fastest-growing software businesses ever built.
