Eight Sleep Raises $100 Million to Accelerate AI Sleep Health and Medical Push

The company says the cash will speed its AI Sleep Agent work, with FDA filings planned for sleep apnea and menopause features.

Overview

  • Backers include HSG, Valor Equity Partners, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and sports investors Charles Leclerc and Zak Brown, with additional participation from Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, and Kevin Hart.
  • Eight Sleep reports more than $500 million in Pod sales, a tenfold revenue increase since 2019, over one billion hours of sleep data collected, and free‑cash‑flow positivity in the first half of 2025.
  • The Pod passively tracks sleep stages, heart and breathing rates, and movement, then adjusts temperature, elevation, and firmness; Health Check monitors cardio‑respiratory patterns and Hot Flash Mode targets menopausal cooling, according to the company.
  • The new AI roadmap centers on a Sleep Agent that uses large models and thousands of digital twins per user to predict outcomes and optimize nightly recovery, building on the Pod’s Autopilot feature.
  • Eight Sleep ships to 30+ countries and plans further international growth, including a China entry, alongside hiring and expanded retail presence.
