Startups buying startups? This is the new talent war
People used to say small companies should not bother with acquisitions because they would suffer from indigestion. Cursor does not believe that at all. It has only been around for a year or two, yet it is already very active in looking at projects and acquiring teams. The main goal is not buying products; it is buying people.
When they see a small team of five or six people with very strong technical ability and work that fits their own direction, they do not simply think about poaching one person. They try to bring over the entire team. This is really an extension of their recruiting philosophy: find the best people at any cost. I think this will become a future trend. Instead of poaching people one by one to form a team, it may be better to directly buy a team that is already coordinated and combat-ready.
