Roughly one in three adults in the U.S. regularly gets insufficient sleep, driving demand for tools that can monitor, analyze, and enhance rest. Eight Sleep, founded in 2014, offers AI-powered sleep tech products that promise to transform your bed into a preventive health device.
The New York-based startup recently raised a fresh $100 million round from investors such as HSG, Valor Equity Partners, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and athletes including Ferrari F1 driver Charles Leclerc, and Zak Brown, who is the CEO of McLaren F1.
With this latest funding, Eight Sleep has raised roughly $260 million total. Its flagship product, Pod, integrates software and AI to track and enhance sleep quality, automatically adjusting temperature, elevation, and firmness based on insights gathered from measuring sleep stages, heart rate, breathing patterns, and movement.
The company is now expanding beyond the Pod with its Sleep Agent, an AI-driven system that creates digital twins for each user to optimize nightly recovery. This proactive approach aims to shift sleep technology from reactive tracking to personalized intervention. Eight’s core differentiator, Autopilot, continuously adapts to factors like seasonality, travel, stress, and illness to provide a personalized blueprint for better sleep.
The startup plans to accelerate its growth in the medical sector with the introduction of Health Check, a feature that monitors cardiovascular and respiratory patterns with up to 99% accuracy without wearable devices. In addition, Eight Sleep recently launched Hot Flash Mode to relieve menopause symptoms and is working on contactless solutions for sleep apnea.
The company currently ships to over 30 countries and is planning to expand into China, tapping into the rising trend of a health-conscious middle class that prioritizes sleep and overall wellness. Eight Sleep assures users that their sensitive health data is encrypted, never sold, and fully private, complying with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
