Investment portfolio

  • Yarbo

    Participated · Equity · Mar 2026

    Founded in 2015, Yarbo develops modular garden robots using a "1+N" architecture where a single robot host supports multiple functional modules (lawn-mowing, snow removal, debris collection, edge trimming). Its M series targets small and medium courtyards and achieved rapid crowdfunding success (over 10 million RMB / ~$1.56M in about 6 hours). Yarbo's robots use multi-sensor fusion navigation (lidar, NetRTK, AI vision), all-terrain tracks capable of 35° slopes, and batteries with fast wireless charging and self-heating for operation down to -25°C. The company says it has reached large-scale mass production and global delivery, and reported rapid sales growth in 2025, with high-end modular sets (priced over $5,000) performing well on Amazon and independent overseas sites. Yarbo has established an operation center in New York and is expanding channel and dealer relationships to scale in North America and Europe.
