The American company Eight Sleep, known for serving clients such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, raised US$ 100 million in new funding.

CEO Matteo Franceschetti revealed that Eight Sleep intends to make the Pod eligible for medical prescription. To that end, the company will submit two requests to the FDA, one to treat sleep apnea and another to assist with symptoms related to menopause.

This strategy aims to enhance the device’s credibility and position it in the healthcare sector as well. Therefore, the company wants to be seen not only as a manufacturer of luxury gadgets but also as a provider of medical solutions.

International Expansion

In addition to the medical field, Eight Sleep plans to open physical stores. Another goal is to enter the Chinese market in 2026. Co-founder Alexandra Zatarain explained in an interview with TechCrunch that the Chinese audience has shown increasing interest in prioritizing sleep and well-being.

According to her, this movement opens up opportunities for the company to bring its technology to millions of new consumers.

Target Audience in Transition

About 35% of adults in the United States report sleeping poorly. This scenario creates an expanding market for health and longevity products.

Zatarain stated that, despite the high price, the brand’s audience is no longer limited to billionaires. Among the customers are doctors, teachers, and dancers willing to invest up to US$ 3,000 in technology for better sleep.

Eight Sleep believes that sleep can become the next major field of personal innovation.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

The island that has 35 inhabitants and celebrates Christmas on January 6: the remote island of Foula lives in isolation, without internet and following Julius Caesar’s calendar for centuries.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

After 14 years of construction and a diplomatic crisis that nearly led to a military confrontation over control of the Nile, Ethiopia inaugurated the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa — the dam is 170 meters high, holds 74 billion cubic meters of water, and generates 5,150 megawatts.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

Million-year-old rock with perfect folds intrigues scientists by revealing deformation without cracks and challenging theories about the Earth’s crust.

Rise in diesel prices challenges passenger transport, pressures operational costs, and accelerates the search for efficiency in the sector.

Government plans R$ 530 billion for 15 railways, but the 1,527 km FIOL between Bahia and Tocantins has been waiting for decades — Lula asks for its completion by December 2026.

Submarine faster than a shark reaches 18 km/h, dives to 300 meters, and draws attention for its unusual way of moving with a full panoramic view of the ocean.
