Crafting your 'why Cursor'

"I love AI" gets you screened out, because everyone interviewing says it. Your why has to be specific to THIS data platform at THIS stage: founding ownership, billions of events a day, a platform still early and a charter that opens it to agents doing data work. It also has to connect to your actual track record.

The credible why is concrete and personal. You use Cursor, you've felt what the product does well and where it strains and you can name the thing about the data charter that pulls you in. Candidate accounts describe this round as informal, sometimes over a meal, so a rehearsed pitch will land worse than a real opinion.
