Manus in talks to raise $500M at $4B valuation, doubling price 17 days after Meta breakup
量子位 · wechat · 2026-09-18
Bloomberg reports Manus is raising $500M at a $4B valuation, its first round since splitting from Meta and returning to independent operation on Sept 1 — double the $2B its original investors paid to buy it back. ARR grew from $100M in December to $400M by June, so the new valuation roughly halves the revenue multiple; open questions include who funds the round and how Manus positions itself as model vendors absorb agent capabilities.
