# Cursor

A market starts moving.

Cursor announced $900 million in new funding at a $9.9 billion company valuation on June 6, 2025.

- **The choice:** Build a product, assemble a team and seek customers.

- **The circumstances:** A fast-changing AI market and investors' appetite for it.

- **A different position:** A headline company valuation is not an employee's bank balance.

## What this does not tell us

This is a dated funding event, not its current valuation. Private company valuation does not establish a founder’s or employee’s liquid wealth.
