# Cursor

## Profile
An AI-native code editor (fork of VS Code) that has become a flagship example of AI-driven engineering tools.

## Source Claim
The speaker cites Cursor as having passed **$500M ARR**. See [[claim-ai-startups-massive-arr]].

## Verification
Public reports place Cursor at **~$100M ARR by late 2025**, not $500M. The directional point (rapid revenue growth) is sound; the specific figure cited in the talk appears exaggerated or based on unverified data.
