Codeium (Windsurf)
Codeium operates two product surfaces: the Codeium free-tier code completion plugin for major editors (VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, Eclipse, and 40+ others), and Windsurf, an AI-native IDE forked from VS Code with built-in agent mode. Codeium completed a $150M Series C in 2024 at a reported $1.25 billion valuation. The Windsurf launch (November 2024) was the company's response to Cursor's developer-tool category leadership.
Why this matters in 2026
Codeium took the free-tier-plus-enterprise route into the AI coding-assistant market, accumulating reach before commercial intent caught up. The 2024 Windsurf launch was the company's bid for the agent-native IDE category alongside Cursor.
