Previous Fund Cycle
Thrive Capital manages its previous multi-billion dollar fund, establishing core positions in AI.
SpaceX is buying AI-powered coding assistant Cursor for $60 billion, a move that brings the developer tool into aerospace and may alter the trajectory of AI coding startup valuations. The all-stock deal comes as Cursor was raising funds at a $50B valuation.

SpaceX’s $60 billion all-stock purchase of AI coding assistant Cursor reshapes the SaaS developer tool landscape, giving xAI a direct channel to millions of engineers while challenging Anthropic and OpenAI dominance.

Thrive Capital has closed its latest venture fund, Thrive X, at a record $10 billion, nearly doubling its previous raise. The fund is strategically positioned to capitalize on the growth of AI and space technologies, specifically targeting high-profile portfolio companies like OpenAI and SpaceX.
