Higher Quality Code Has Always Been the True North for Graphite and Cursor Agrees

December 19, 2025

From the beginning, ‘higher quality code,’ was the mission and rallying cry for the Graphite team. We’ve enjoyed the proverbial front-row seat, having led the company’s seed financing and sat on its Board ever since. And today we have the thrill of seeing the company join Cursor.

In the cofounders own words: “We chose to join forces with Cursor because of the opportunity to create something phenomenal together: the end-to-end platform for building with AI. We’ve long dreamed of connecting the surfaces where we create, collaborate on, and validate code changes, and this deal dramatically accelerates the timeline on which we can make that a reality.”

A journey (and outcome) like this one is what we hoped for when starting Homebrew and there will be more to reflect and write about. But for now, we give Greg, Merrill and Tomas our enthusiastic congratulations; a big salute to the whole Graphite team; a thank you to Peter at a16z and Christine at Accel; and excitement for Cursor, which is bringing on board an amazing organization.
