Sunday Robotics Raises $165M Series B, Becomes Unicorn
By
–
BREAKING: @sundayrobotics has just raised a MASSIVE $165M Series B at a $1.15 billion valuation! It has happened! @Coatue led the round, with @BainCapVC, TigerGlobal, @benchmark, and FidelityInv also participating. Thomas Laffont joins the board! This has been a long time coming and must be a great feeling for those working at @sundayrobotics. The company emerged from stealth just four months ago and is now already a unicorn. @tonyzzhao and @chichengcc dropped out of Stanford PhDs to build what could become the first real household robot. Being able to deploy their robot Memo into real homes later this year through their Beta program could be a huge inflection point for the entire home robotics space. Credit: sunday.ai Congrats to @tonyzzhao, @chichengcc and the entire team!! 👋
