The playbook

How Recepto would prospect Cursor's market

Signal-led plays an AI SDR would run against the accounts Cursor sells into. The patterns are public; the matched account lists are not.

Intent signal

p.01

The AI mandate memo

Engineering leadership publicly announces an AI-tooling mandate, policy or enablement program. The account is in-market for developer-AI vendors within the quarter — before an RFP exists.

40+ accounts match this pattern right now

Tech adoption

p.02

Assistant fatigue

An incumbent AI coding assistant sits in the public footprint while the account hires platform or AI-enablement roles. That pairing marks an active re-evaluation window.

25+ accounts match this pattern right now

Compound signal

p.03

Platform team forming

Engineering headcount grows over 15% quarter-on-quarter and a developer-productivity or platform team appears in postings. Tooling budgets get created exactly here.

Questions

About this page

Where does Cursor's signal data come from?

Public sources only: careers pages and job boards, press and funding announcements, observable technology footprints and public market indices for the source-code-management category. Nothing comes from private datasets, and no Cursor customer or employee records are published.

Why is Cursor's Intent Rank high right now?

Two M&A events, president-level revenue hires and enterprise-pricing language all registered inside one quarter. The rank weights buying-relevant activity by type and recency, and corp development plus GTM leadership changes carry the heaviest weights.

What is the Recepto Intent Rank?

A 0–100 score summarising how much buying-relevant activity a company has emitted in the last 30 days, weighted by signal type and recency. The delta compares against the previous 30-day window. Where no rank has been computed we show the raw signal count instead — we do not estimate.

Why are some values hidden on this page?

Anything that identifies a person, or that names a third-party account as in-market, stays out of the public page. Those values are not hidden with styling — they are absent from the page source entirely.

Yes. Claiming the page gives you the full brief for cursor.com and a channel to correct anything inaccurate. Removal requests are honoured.
