What happened
Cognition AI, maker of autonomous coding agent Devin, entered early talks to raise hundreds of millions at a $25B valuation — more than doubling its $10.2B September valuation. Devin's ARR surged from $1M (Sep 2024) to $73M (Jun 2025). Founded late 2023 by Scott Wu, Steven Hao, and Walden Yan. Previous investors include Founders Fund, Lux Capital, 8VC, Elad Gil.
Why it matters for Seva's category
Cursor at $60B, Cognition at $25B, Claude Code growing — the AI coding agent market is now larger than most SaaS verticals. For revenue operators: the speed at which products get built just changed, which compresses the window between "idea" and "competitor has it too."
