Our flagship product, the Pod, turns the bed into an always-on lab, combining advanced temperature regulation, biometric sensing, and AI to optimize recovery, improve performance, and surface early signals for preventative action. Today, Eight Sleep has analyzed 1B+ hours of sleep data, serves customers across 30+ countries, and has recently raised an additional $100M to expand beyond sleep optimization into broader health prediction and intervention.

James Monsees and Adam Bowen co-founded JUUL when they applied their background in product design to the challenge of finding a better alternative to smoking. They’d been smokers for many years, but they were increasingly dissatisfied with the health and social impacts of cigarettes. When they could find no attractive alternative to cigarettes, James and Adam recognized a groundbreaking opportunity to apply industrial design to the smoking industry, which had not materially evolved in over one hundred years. As smokers, they knew a viable alternative to cigarettes would have to offer a nicotine level found in no other alternative on the market. It would also have to invite its own ritual. The result was JUUL.
