Bending Spoons purchases distressed platforms with steady cash flow, aggressively optimizes monetization and ops to drive higher LTV, and ultimately turns their apps into profit-making machines. (3/4)

AI bubble or not, with $4.6 trillion (!) in market cap, @nvidia is now worth more than all publicly-listed American and Canadian banks (including giants like @jpmorgan, @BankofAmerica, @MorganStanley and @GoldmanSachs).

On ZIRP-era valuations: we exclude companies that latest reported valuation would be enough to hit the list (e.g. @CloudKitchens), but it is expected that the company is now valued significantly lower. (6/6)

(3/3) Cursor's growth is something else. The company has added $200M in ARR in a month (!!!), jumping from $300M in mid-April to $500M in late May. Most of Cursor's revenue comes from individual subscriptions, but the company is now rolling out enterprise licenses.

(2/3) Cursor has announced a $900M Series C at nearly a $10B valuation, valuing the AI IDE platform at 20x ARR. This is a (refreshingly) reasonable multiple, in line with high-growth public SaaS comps and significantly below the often inflated multiples for private AI startups.
