Eight Sleep, maker of AI-driven smart mattresses, raised $100 million in a Series D round led by Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and other investors including F1 figures. The funding values the company at around $500 million and will support expansion into medical applications like sleep apnea and menopausal sleep issues. The Pod system adjusts bed temperature and tracks biometrics via sensors, but faces user complaints about leaks, glitches, and opaque AI data. Despite these issues, the company has attracted celebrity users like Elon Musk and Scarlett Johansson and aims to secure FDA approval for medical use.

Mog Coin (MOG), a meme coin inspired by the 4Chan slang ‘mogging,’ has skyrocketed 51% amid a wave of endorsements from tech figures like Elon Musk and Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan. The token’s signature Pit Viper sunglasses branding went viral after Musk updated his X profile picture, sparking a ‘mog/acc’ movement blending crypto culture with tech accelerationism. Despite speculation about behind-the-scenes lobbying, Mog Coin’s team insists the trend was organic, rooted in community-driven memes. Pit Viper’s playful engagement—including a discount code—further fueled the hype, though its CEO’s unrelated promotion of a Solana token (PITCOIN) caused confusion. Mog Coin’s creative director framed the chaos as emblematic of crypto’s chaotic yet fun nature, contrasting it with traditional finance’s rigidity.
