The company, led by programmer Scott Wu, is targeting this valuation milestone based on achieving a $1 billion annualized revenue run rate. Back in May, Cognition confirmed a $492 million revenue run rate, highlighting a rapid trajectory fueled by enterprise adoption. Major clients including NASA, Goldman Sachs, and Mercedes-Benz currently utilize the platform to handle labor-intensive software maintenance and migration tasks.

Cognition eyes $40 billion valuation for its AI coding agent
Barely three months after securing a $2 billion valuation, the startup behind the AI coding agent Devin is reportedly courting investors for a massive funding jump. Cognition is aiming for a $40 billion valuation, betting that its aggressive revenue growth will justify the leap in an increasingly crowded market.
Despite the ballooning valuation, Wu maintains that Devin is designed to augment rather than replace human developers. By automating the repetitive grunt-work that engineers typically avoid, the agent has seen enterprise usage grow by 50% month-over-month for the past half-year. This focus on long-tail technical debt appears to be the primary driver behind the company's sustained momentum.
