Some of the most unexpected fallouts of an AWS outage: 1. Postman stopped working: an API development tool built to be an alternative to simple tools like curl. 2. Eight Sleep customers couldn’t use their beds to change positions / set or keep temperature
BREAKING: We just raised $100M at @eightsleep to build the AI that finally fixes sleep. For decades, sleep has been passive. You lie down, close your eyes, and hope for the best. We’re changing that. Over 1B hours of biometric sleep data → distilled into fully autonomous AI that knows your body better than you do. We will do this in two ways: Step 1: Your personal Sleep Agent, running infinite nightly scenarios before they happen to deliver the most restorative sleep your body is capable of. Step 2: Thousands of Longevity Twins simulating potential health outcomes based on your data to help you live a longer and healthier life. Eight Sleep is becoming the operating system for sleep and longevity. Human life will never be the same again. Watch my full interview with @andrewrsorkin on @SquawkCNBC here
Amazon Web Servers went down, and all the Eight Sleep "smart" mattresses went haywire. Just a thought, but are there maybe some household goods it's smarter to leave "dumb"? https://t.co/D533CuVsO3
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.
I loved my Eight Sleep, but the pricing was insane, the subscription was predatory, and I had TWO units leak water all over (Pod 3/4). I ditched it, but always kinda missed it. So I bought this: an archaic/ugly alternative but uses air, is 1/4 the price, & has NO subscription. https://t.co/uQCbFfvH6t
Is your product legit? Consumers don’t know who to trust. We just launched a new marketplace of certified brands, starting with two of my favorites: Eight Sleep: I achieved 8 months of perfect sleep on this bad-boy. Plunge Sauna: don’t forget to ice your boys. My protocol is 200°F (93°C) for 20 min, daily. These are products I trust: + backed by research + vetted by my clinical team + studied for longevity We reject most products.
