Cognition Rockets to $10.2B Valuation After $400M Raise and Windsurf Deal

Cognition has raised over $400 million in fresh capital, reaching a post-money valuation of $10.2 billion , with Founders Fund leading the round. New investors include Bain Capital Ventures, Hanabi Capital, and D1 Capital, alongside continued support from Lux Capital and 8VC. This marks one of the most substantial raises in the AI infrastructure space this year.

The company’s flagship AI coding agent, Devin , has seen remarkable adoption, growing from just $1M in ARR in September 2024 to $73M in ARR by June 2025 —all while maintaining net burn under $20M since inception. This signals not just hypergrowth, but also strong financial discipline—a rare combination in frontier tech.

Cognition recently acquired Windsurf , doubling its ARR and expanding its product suite into both IDE-based tools and fully autonomous agents. Enterprise overlap was below 5% pre-acquisition, yet within seven weeks, combined enterprise ARR rose over 30%. Enterprise clients now include Goldman Sachs, Palantir, Cisco, Dell, and Mercado Libre , underscoring market trust.

With this momentum, Cognition is positioning itself not only as a leader in AI-assisted software engineering, but as a platform layer for the future of development. The company is scaling efficiently, broadening its reach, and now has the capital to dominate in a category that’s becoming core to enterprise infrastructure.
