Karachi: A 26-year-old tech entrepreneur from Karachi is drawing international attention following reports that his co-founded artificial intelligence startup could be part of a potential multi-billion dollar deal involving SpaceX.
Saleh Asif, who began his academic journey in Karachi, went on to represent Pakistan at the International Mathematical Olympiad before pursuing higher education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
During his time as a student, Asif entered the technology space and later co-founded an AI-powered coding platform known as Cursor. The tool has since gained traction among developers and enterprises, with reports suggesting that major global companies such as Nvidia, Adobe, Uber, and Shopify are among its users.
According to emerging reports, Cursor has already reached a valuation in the billions of dollars. Speculation has intensified after claims that SpaceX may be exploring a deal worth up to $60 billion, although no official confirmation has been issued.
If finalized, such a transaction could mark one of the most significant milestones for a Pakistani-founded tech venture on the global stage. However, details surrounding the potential deal, including its structure and timeline, remain unclear.
Separately, some reports suggest that Asif’s personal net worth has seen rapid growth, placing him among notable high-value individuals at a relatively young age, though these figures have not been independently verified.
