Co-founded by Sid Sijbrandij (GitLab co-founder and former CEO) and Scott Breitenother, the project raised $8M in seed funding in December 2025 from General Catalyst, Cota Capital, and others. With 16.8K stars, Architect/Coder/Debugger modes, an MCP Server Marketplace, and access to 500+ models, it's the most battle-tested open-source alternative to Cursor at scale.
