Mountain View-based Sunday has raised a $165 million Series B at a $1.15 billion valuation, led by Coatue Management, with Tiger Global, Benchmark, Bain Capital Ventures, and Fidelity also joining the round. The company is building Memo, a household robot designed to handle real home chores — loading the dishwasher, folding laundry, clearing tables — autonomously and reliably.

Stop Giving Demos, Start Shipping

Sunday CEO Tony Zhao framed the raise bluntly: "We raised our Series B to stop giving demos. Now, we're focusing entirely on deployment, with Beta deliveries starting in just months." The company plans to launch its 2026 Beta — serving an initial cohort of households — by Thanksgiving.

The Data Flywheel

What sets Sunday apart, according to the company, is a proprietary data pipeline built around a Skill Capture Glove that has collected tens of millions of movement episodes. This lets Sunday iterate from data collection to model training to evaluation faster than competitors. Their most recent demo achieved industry-leading dexterity in just three months of training.

Memo is a wheeled humanoid that focuses on home manipulation tasks — not backflips or viral stunts. The robot handles the "Table-to-Dishwasher" cycle (33 distinct dexterous interactions), wine glasses, socks, and other everyday objects that have stumped robots for decades due to varying weights, textures, and fragility.

Early Momentum

Since emerging from stealth last November, Sunday has received thousands of Beta applications, tripled its engineering team, and quadrupled its research staff. Coatue's Thomas Laffont, joining the board, cited Sunday's "velocity of excellence" as the key signal that they can be first to ship truly helpful home robots at scale.

If Sunday delivers by Thanksgiving, it would mark one of the first real deployments of a general-purpose household robot — a goal the industry has chased for decades.
