Aman Sanger

Aman Sanger cofounded Cursor, the maker of a popular AI code editing tool, with three friends from MIT in 2022.

Cursor reached a $29.3 billion valuation in November 2025, after raising $2.3 billion in a funding round co-led by VC heavyweights Accel and Coatue.

Cursor claims to have more than $1 billion in annualized revenue, making it one of the fastest growing AI companies.

Today, millions of software developers at some 50,000 enterprises like Nvidia, Adobe, Uber, Shopify and PayPal use Cursor to generate and edit chunks of code.

Before starting Cursor, Sanger interned at hedge fund Bridgewater Associates and Google. He also founded his own AI consultancy firm.

Sanger started coding when he was 14 and was an avid squash player at MIT.
