Robotic Pet Company Tombot Secures $6.1M Series A Funding to Support Groundbreaking Health and Senior Care Product Line

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tombot, the robotics company that earned widespread acclaim at CES earlier this year for its lifelike robotic puppy, Jennie, announced today the successful close—and oversubscription—of its $6.1 million Series A funding round. Tombot's flagship product, Jennie, was designed specifically to treat the Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) and other health issues. 'Tombot is entering a high-demand, underserved market at the intersection of mental health and assistive technology,' said Tombot CEO and Co-Founder Tom Stevens. 'Over 300 million seniors around the world with dementia and mild cognitive impairment are unable to care for a live animal at a time when they need the companionship of a pet more than ever. Millions of other individuals suffering from mental health adversities are in a similar predicament.' With artistic design by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, and developed with the guidance of clinical experts, patients, and their families, Jennie provides many of the health benefits associated with live animal ownership, such as reduced stress and loneliness. Jennie will be used in private homes, assisted living and memory care communities, and other settings where live animals are not always safe or practical. Covered with sensors to respond to touch, voice commands, movement, and other sensory inputs, Jennie is rechargeable, fully cleanable, and comes with an optional caregiver app to customize behaviors and ease the burden of caregiving. With participation from both new and existing investors, the funding round was led by Caduceus Capital Partners, a Nashville-based team of veteran healthcare investors with a primary emphasis on accelerating growth of early-stage digital health startups. 'We identified the growing need for robotic companions several years ago and believe the market is now on the brink of exponential expansion,' said Dave Vreeland, senior managing partner, Caduceus Capital Partners. 'By 2030, the U.S. is projected to have 73 million seniors – an aging population that will increasingly face challenges related to loneliness, companionship, and chronic disease management. These issues are rapidly surpassing the capacity of human caregivers alone. Tombot is uniquely positioned to lead this emerging sector and drive widespread adoption of robotic companions." 'This investment will be rocket fuel for Tombot,' said Stevens. 'We are most appreciative of our company's Board of Directors for their ongoing guidance, and are especially grateful to Caduceus for recognizing and supporting Tombot's mission of creating robotic animals that transform the daily lives of individuals, families, and communities facing health adversities.' According to Stevens, this milestone investment will be used to expand Tombot's team, finalize engineering, complete regulatory and safety certifications, and prepare its first robotic pet for customer shipments to its more than 16,000 pre-order and waitlist customers. About Tombot Tombot, Inc., established in 2017, designs realistic robotic companion animals for individuals unable to safely or practically care for a live animal. After Tom Stevens' own mother's progressive dementia necessitated the rehoming of her beloved pet dog for safety reasons, Tom launched Tombot. Tombot's flagship product, Jennie, was designed specifically to treat the Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD). The Tombot founding team built a prior startup into one of the world's largest legal automation companies and was successfully acquired.

Over 44,000 Pounds Of Shrimp Have Been Recalled Due To Listeria

Open any freezer and there's a good chance that you'll find a bag of frozen shrimp. This type of shellfish is delicious in so many dishes, from pasta to salads to tacos. But if you recently purchased a bag of frozen shrimp, you're going to want to check it before cooking. Bornstein Seafoods Inc., a Bellingham, Washington-based company, has recalled 44,550 pounds of shrimp due to possible listeria monocytogenes contamination, according to the FDA. The company says the listeria was found during a routine sampling, but no illnesses have been reported. On June 10, the company announced the recall of Cooked & Peeled Ready-To-Eat Coldwater Shrimp Meat in 1 and 5-pound bags. According to the recall, the product was distributed to both retailers and wholesale distributors in Oregon, California, Washington, and British Columbia of Canada. But it's worth noting that the products could have been distributed beyond these states and provinces. Listeria is a bacteria that can cause listeriosis, which can cause mild to severe symptoms. According to the FDA, mild cases can include symptoms like fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, while more severe cases can be life-threatening, especially for at-risk groups: those with weakened immune systems, adults over 65, pregnant people, and newborns. To find out if you have recalled shrimp, you'll need to check the UPC codes and lot numbers, which can be found on the bag. A list of affected product can be found here. If you do have recalled product, consumers are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a refund and to direct any questions to Andrew Bornstein at Andrew@ You Might Also Like Insanely Easy Weeknight Dinners To Try This Week 29 Insanely Delicious Vodka Cocktails
