NEW: Radar just raised $170M at a $1B valuation to build the "operating system" for physical retail. They’re using sensors to help stores track every item in real-time with 99% accuracy. • ceiling sensors use RFID computer vision • finds products down to 10 cm • shows what’s on the floor vs. in the backroom in real time • enables autonomous checkout with no lines • already powering hundreds of stores across the US and Canada Online stores know exactly what you viewed, added to your cart, and abandoned. Radar could bring that same intelligence to retail stores.

$0 in funding. A grant that just ran out. StartX kept Short Answer alive — and they scaled to 80,000 monthly active users and profitability. This is what StartX looks like in practice. 🌱 Hear what CEO Adam Sparks had to say. Learn more → web.startx.com

Congrats @m_franceschetti and @eightsleep team. Amazing product and founders. Proud they are part of the @StartX community.
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.
