Supermaven and Cursor join forces, creating the future of AI-powered development 

Bessemer Venture Partners led Supermaven's seed financing.

We're excited to share that Supermaven and Cursor are joining forces to create the most powerful AI-powered development environment. This combination brings together Cursor's beloved VS Code-based editor with Supermaven's blazing-fast, context-aware, SOTA code completion model.

The synergy is clear: Cursor has mastered the art of AI-human collaboration in coding, while Supermaven has pushed the boundaries of what's possible in code completion and understanding. Together, they're positioned to deliver what developers really need – not just another AI coding tool, but a true development partner that understands your entire codebase and helps you write better code, faster.

We're especially excited by the union of these two powerhouse teams. Jacob's pioneering work with TabNine and his deep expertise in LLMs from OpenAI, combined with Cursor's relentless focus on developer experience and organic developer love, create a technical and product dream team. The teams share a vision of AI not as a replacement for developers, but as a force multiplier that eliminates the tedious parts of coding and amplifies human ingenuity.

Bessemer is thrilled to support Supermaven in its next chapter. In a landscape crowded with AI coding tools, this combination is special: a true full-stack solution that developers love and trust. The future of software development is being written right now, and Cursor + Supermaven are holding the pen.
