What We Do
Eight Sleep is building a predictive health platform powered by sleep, now used by 200k+ members nightly across 30+ countries. Our products combine hardware, software, AI, and biometric sensing to turn the bed into an always-on system that can measure physiology, regulate temperature in real time, and adapt throughout the night to improve sleep, recovery, and long-term health. The impact is already measurable. In studies, the Pod has improved sleep quality by up to 32%, helped users fall asleep up to 44% faster, reduced nighttime disturbances by 23%, improved cardiovascular recovery markers like heart rate variability and resting heart rate, and increased cognitive performance, including a 9% improvement in processing speed. More recent research also found a 56% average reduction in nighttime hot flashes among peri- and post-menopausal women. Even after becoming profitable in 2025, we're still early. We've raised over $150M across recent rounds, including a $50M raise at a $1.5B valuation, to accelerate an ambitious roadmap into predictive, AI-driven health.
Why Work With Us
Eight Sleep develops integrated hardware, software, and ML systems that sense physiology and regulate the sleep environment in real time. The product operates nightly, creating a closed-loop system that improves sleep, recovery, and long-term health. If you're looking to work at the edge of what is possible, and make measurable impact
