The 2-minute why-Cursor narrativewhy this product, why this user, why now
- 1Why this product. Be specific and current: you use Cursor, here's the workflow it changed for you, here's what's still rough. Generic "AI is exciting" gets discounted instantly.
- 2Why this user. Professional developers are a sophisticated, opinionated, technical user - say why researching an expert user energizes you and where it's harder than researching a consumer.
- 3Why this team. A small, flat, talent-dense research function where you'd be roadmap-driving from day one. Name that you want the scope and the speed, not a big-co research org.
Say it like this
"I switched to Cursor as my daily editor about six months ago and the Agent changed how I scope multi-file refactors - but I still hesitate before letting it touch a shared repo, which is exactly the kind of trust friction I'd love to research. Studying professional developers is harder and more interesting than consumer work: they have strong priors and they'll tell you when you're wrong. And I want a function small enough that my research moves the roadmap, not a report that gets filed."
