Cursor's Pricing Changes Caused an Uproar

They have to do it because subsidizing the market with cheap tokens is not sustainable in the long run.

Here are some hard truths for aspiring startup founders:

• Many young startup founders mistake revenue for product-market fit (PMF). • High revenue growth ≠ PMF when it’s built on subsidies. • If you sell $100 bills for $10, you’ll hit $1B revenue in record time—but it’s not real PMF. • Too often, we celebrated new startup “success”, without looking at business sustainability. • For the last 20 years, grow at all cost is possible because cheap money and low interest rates propped up tech companies. That era is over.

The real test? Can your business still get customers by charging with good profit margin?

Example of sustainable startup = Gamma.

We’re entering a new era where only building sustainable business wins. Are you ready?
