About Eight Sleep Eight Sleep is building an end-to-end predictive health platform, starting with the one place humans spend a third of their lives - the bed. Founded in 2014, we began by reimagining sleep as a trainable input to health and performance.

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. Backed by leading investors including Founders Fund, Y Combinator, Valor Equity Partners, and HSG, we’re building the foundation for how people understand and improve their health every day - passively, continuously, and proactively.
