Sheel Mohnot on Revenue

Sheel Mohnot@pitdesi

Cursor is incredible but I wonder how sticky the revenue (~$150M ARR) is. 66x revs is fine if you think the growth continues, if you think the revenue is sticky. I’m not at ALL an expert on this, would love others to opine.

Why it worked

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
