Overview

  • HSG led the round with participation from Valor Equity Partners, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and F1 figures Charles Leclerc and Zak Brown.
  • The financing brings total capital raised to about $260 million, according to industry tallies, while the company did not disclose its new valuation.
  • Eight Sleep is developing a large‑language‑model Sleep Agent that generates thousands of digital twins per user to predict outcomes and tune nightly settings such as temperature and elevation.
  • The firm is targeting clinical applications via its Health Check feature—claimed to monitor cardiovascular and respiratory patterns with up to 99% accuracy—and contactless sleep‑apnea solutions while seeking FDA clearance.
  • The company reports more than $500 million in Pod sales, over one billion hours of sleep data, shipping to 30+ countries with plans for China, and a privacy stance that encrypts data, avoids microphones, and says user information is never sold.
