In the network

Anysphere, the maker of the Cursor AI code editor, is backed by NVIDIA, Accel, Coatue, Thrive Capital, DST Global, and Google, having raised $62300M across a single round. Through shared capital it overlaps most with Anthropic and OpenEvidence (four common investors each), followed by Databricks, Ineffable Intelligence, and Essential AI (three each), with thinner ties to Supabase, Harvey, and OpenAI (two each). That investor overlap places it inside the same crossover AI cluster as Anthropic and OpenAI, where growth and crossover funds (Coatue, Thrive Capital, DST Global) sit alongside strategic backers like NVIDIA and Google. With a connection score of 63 and a 1050-person team concentrated in the San Francisco Bay Area (25%) with a secondary Houston hub (5%), Anysphere is a moderately central node bridging foundation-model labs and applied developer-tools companies.
