SBF invested $200,000 early in Cursor; if he had not sold his equity, it would now be worth approximately $3 billion.
SpaceX announced today that it has reached a cooperation agreement with AI-powered programming startup Cursor, which has granted SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $6 billion—or pay $1 billion to advance their collaboration.
According to reports, Cursor’s developer, Anysphere, closed a $400,000 pre-seed funding round in April 2022, co-led by Alameda Research and Heroic Ventures. Alameda invested $200,000 in Anysphere, acquiring approximately 5% equity; this stake was sold at its original price during FTX’s bankruptcy liquidation. Had it not been sold, the stake would now be worth roughly $3 billion.
