With a $5.5 million funding round, Sleep.ai launches as a unified platform combining data science, consumer tools, reimbursed programs, and partner integrations across digital health and wellness.
Key takeaways:
Formerly SleepScore Labs, the healthtech company now branded as Sleep.ai has raised $5.5 million in venture funding for its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered platform.
Sleep.ai powers and unites four core capabilities under a single platform:
“This funding marks a pivotal moment where AI transforms health outcomes by transforming tens of billions of complex data points into actionable sleep intelligence,” says Colin Lawlor, founder and CEO of Sleep.ai, in a release. “Sleep is highly complex and highly personal, with many variables impacting it. The accuracy and scale of the data are key, and the computational complexity becomes revolutionary. Our AI doesn’t just analyze sleep—it interprets data in a way no human could, turning massive datasets into meaningful insights that drive better health outcomes.”
Treasure Coast Ventures led the $5.5m funding round with participation from Nurture Ventures, the Harvard Business School Alumni Angels of Greater New York, Supermoon Capital, and several other investors.
“Sleep is emerging as one of the most critical and under-addressed frontiers in global health, and no company is better positioned to lead it than Sleep.ai,” says Robert Padulo, PhD, managing partner at Treasure Coast Ventures, in a release. “Their unmatched dataset, scientific rigor, and proven ability to translate research into scalable, commercial solutions set them apart in a crowded AI market. We believe Sleep.ai’s platform will not only redefine how sleep is measured and improved, but also open new opportunities for partners across health, wellness, insurance, and lifestyle sectors worldwide.”
The rebrand marks a pivotal moment for Sleep.ai as it accelerates commercialization, expands partner integrations, and extends its reach across health, wellness, insurance, lifestyle, and more.
Formerly operating as SleepScore Labs, Sleep.ai has spent the past decade building its competitive moat: more than 800 million hours of proprietary sleep data, over 250 scientific studies, 90+ scientific publications and peer-reviewed papers, and a growing patent portfolio.
SleepScore Labs will remain the name for the company’s R&D and validation services.
“Since acquiring the Sleep.ai company and domain name in 2018, we’ve been building towards this moment: transitioning from behind-the-scenes research to leading a global movement that will fundamentally reshape how we understand and harness sleep to improve a broad range of health outcomes,” Lawlor says.
Companies in areas such as weight loss, fitness, mental health, female health, and chronic disease management struggle to deliver the best outcomes because sleep is often ignored or missed. Sleep.ai fits in this niche by delivering scalable, AI-powered solutions in sleep health.
Timothy Roberts, VP, science & innovation at wellness and fitness technology company Therabody, says in a release, “Partnering with Sleep.ai has accelerated our ability to innovate at a depth and speed that simply isn’t possible without their dataset and science. Sleep.ai was and continues to operate ahead of the curve. They saw and acted on the importance of validating consumer solutions before many saw the evolution of consumer understanding and behavior. Without Sleep.ai it would not have been possible for Therabody to enter the sleep category with the rigorous validation we pride ourselves on.”
Sleep.ai’s platform transforms a large sleep dataset into actionable, science-backed guidance that empowers healthcare providers, wellness companies, insurers, and technology partners to improve outcomes on a large scale.
