The parent company of AI editor Cursor has completed a financing round with a valuation of $9 billion, with former investor Alameda missing out on huge returns.

According to the Gate.io News bot, the Financial Times reported that Anysphere, the parent company of the AI code editor Cursor, has completed a new round of financing. This round raised $900 million, led by Thrive Capital, an investor in OpenAI, with participation from firms like a16z and Accel, bringing Anysphere's valuation to $9 billion.

It is worth noting that Alameda Research, a subsidiary of FTX, participated in the seed round financing of Anysphere in 2022, with an investment amount of $200,000. After the bankruptcy of FTX, this investment was sold by the liquidator at the original price of $200,000. According to community calculations, if Alameda Research had held this investment until now, its value would be approximately $500 million.
