Eight Sleep Secures $100M Funding to Grow AI-Powered Smart Sleep Technology
With approximately one-third of American adults experiencing chronic sleep deprivation, innovative technologies that track and improve sleep quality are in high demand. Eight Sleep, launched in 2014, develops artificial intelligence-enhanced sleep systems that convert standard beds into proactive health monitoring platforms.
Funding Milestone
The New York-based company recently secured $100 million in new funding from prominent investors including HSG, Valor Equity Partners, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and sports personalities like Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc and McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown.
This latest investment brings Eight Sleep's total funding to approximately $260 million, according to Pitchbook data. Following its $86 million Series C round in 2021 that valued the company at $500 million post-money, Eight Sleep now approaches unicorn status with a valuation doubling its previous round.
"Strategic execution of our AI development plan, international expansion, and specialized health interventions will organically lead us to unicorn valuation," explained Alexandra Zatarain, Eight Sleep's Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer.
Product Innovation
The company's flagship Pod smart mattress incorporates advanced sensors and artificial intelligence to monitor sleep stages, cardiac rhythms, respiratory patterns, and movement. The system dynamically adjusts mattress temperature, elevation, and firmness while including features like automatic elevation adjustment in response to detected snoring.
Since launching the Pod in 2019, Eight Sleep has:
- Generated over $500 million in sales
- Expanded revenue tenfold
- Accumulated more than one billion hours of sleep data
Technology Expansion
With approximately 100 employees, Eight Sleep is developing Sleep Agent, an artificial intelligence platform that creates digital twin models of users to predict sleep outcomes and optimize recovery. This technology represents a shift from passive monitoring to active sleep optimization.
The company's proprietary Autopilot system establishes personalized sleep profiles that continuously adapt to factors including seasonal changes, travel schedules, stress levels, physical training, and illness.
Medical Applications
New funding will accelerate healthcare-focused development including:
- Health Check cardiovascular/respiratory monitoring (99% accuracy claimed)
- Hot Flash Mode for menopause symptom relief
- Contactless sleep apnea detection solutions
Eight Sleep is pursuing FDA approval while emphasizing its technology complements rather than replaces medical care.
Global Expansion
Currently available in 30+ countries including Canada, UK, EU nations, Australia, Mexico and UAE, Eight Sleep plans expansion into China's growing health-conscious consumer market.
Data Security Commitment
The company maintains strict data privacy protocols:
- Fully encrypted biometric data
- GDPR and CCPA compliance
- No microphone usage
- No third-party data sales
Competitive Landscape
The sleep technology market includes:
- Wearables (Oura, Fitbit, Apple Watch)
- Medical devices (ResMed)
- Smart bedding systems (Sleep Number, ChiliSleep)
