a16z's Martin Casado, Matt Bornstein, and Sarah Wang on the Cursor story: In 2023, four MIT dropouts released a fork of Microsoft's code editor.

In this episode, Martin, Matt, and Sarah break down how it happened: why Cursor initially refused to train its own model, how they kept evolving their own product three times in two years, and how they built the fastest-growing sales team any of them has ever seen. 00:00 Intro 01:19 AI coding before agents 03:30 "Code in the future will look like pseudocode" 04:55 The pitch meeting that was 90% "no" 06:14 Why Cursor didn't build its own model 08:15 What Michael Truell does for fun 11:24 The growth assumptions Cursor broke 12:13 Competing with Microsoft 14:45 At dinner with John Schulman 15:40 The competitors that couldn't kill Cursor 17:33 Michael Truell on Claude Code 19:14 Cannibalizing yourself 3x in two years 20:09 Why the gross margin critics were wrong 22:08 The sales team they never wanted 25:40 Hiring AEs like engineers 31:00 How their office suits their product 33:19 Why Cursor and Elon fit 35:15 How Cursor got good at M&A YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=GHrnbv… @martin_casado @BornsteinMatt @sarahdingwang Your browser does not support the video tag. 🔗 View on Twitter 💬 7 🔄 4 ❤️ 46 👀 9292 📊 14 ⚡
