Robotics pet startup Tombot Raises $6.1M
Briefly

Tombot recently secured $6.1 million in a Series A funding round led by Caduceus Capital Partners, targeting the mental health intersection in assistive technology. With a growing number of seniors affected by dementia or mild cognitive impairment, the company aims to provide companionship through its lifelike robotic puppy, Jennie. Designed in collaboration with experts, Jennie offers similar benefits to a live dog, aiding in the reduction of loneliness and stress. The funding will enable Tombot to scale operations and meet significant market demand, with over 16,000 pre-orders already registered.
