About Aman Sanger

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

The company was acquired by SpaceX for $60 billion in August 2026. Forbes estimates that each Cursor cofounder received shares of the rocket maker worth $2.4 billion at the deal's closing.

Before the SpaceX acquisition, Cursor claimed to have more than $1 billion in annualized revenue, making it one of the fastest growing AI startups.

Today, millions of software developers at 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.
