Today we're announcing a new round of funding that values @eightsleep at $1.5 billion, led by @tether Investments. Ten years ago I started Eight Sleep with one conviction: the night is the most underutilized lever in human health. Almost nobody was engineering their sleep. Last year, we hit free cash flow positivity, launched 3 new products, expanded to 34 countries, and published peer-reviewed studies showing the Pod reduces menopausal hot flashes by 56% and restores the body's natural circadian temperature rhythm during sleep, lowering core body temperature and improving cardiovascular recovery. A product you sleep on is producing clinical outcomes that rival pharmaceutical interventions. We're now building a predictive AI agent trained on 1B+ hours of sleep data. It anticipates your night before it happens. And we're advancing FDA filings for sleep apnea detection. Passive. Every night. No wires, no clinic visits. The night is just the beginning.
