Yarbo, a company that created the world’s first year-round multipurpose intelligent yard robot, announced it has closed its Series B funding round, raising about $27 million.
A group of strategic and financial investors backed the funding round, supporting Yarbo’s vision of reimagining how the world handles outdoor work one season at a time.
This new funding round will turbocharge Yarbo’s ability to scale mass production, enhance supply chain resilience, and deepen investment in R&D, fuelling faster product optimisation and iteration. The company also plans to accelerate talent acquisition, enhance liquidity, and push forward with pre-IPO planning as it sets its sights on global expansion and long-term market leadership.
Launched in 2015, Yarbo began life as Snowbot, targeting the infamously tough task of snow removal, a long-standing pain point for homeowners. Since then, the company has transformed from a niche robotics brand into a global category leader in outdoor automation, now operating under the Yarbo name.
With a signature “1+N” modular design, Yarbo offers year-round functionality powered by one intelligent core robot and a growing family of interchangeable modules. From snow blowing in winter, to lawn mowing in summer, to leaf blowing in autumn, Yarbo has become a household name for those who’d rather relax in their gardens than maintain them.
In 2022, Yarbo’s crowdfunding campaign raised over $3.45 million. And by 2024, the company’s own direct-to-consumer full-payment pre-order campaign generated 6,000+ orders. Now Yarbo expects 4x to 5x sales growth this year, supported by expansion across North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia.
Following a successful Spring Sale & Robotic Trimmer Launch livestream in early April – where Yarbo moved 702 total units, including 284 trimmers, and brought in over $850,000 in sales within 2 hours – the new Trimmer Module is fast approaching mass production. Designed to handle edges, tight spots, and other areas your mower cannot reach, the Trimmer expands Yarbo’s spring and summer capabilities, perfectly complementing the Lawn Mower and Blower modules.
Yarbo’s future modules are in development to cover tasks like granular or liquid spraying, moving your garbage bins to the curb, dog waste picking, and even fruit harvesting. All without changing the core robot.
The company also continues to build on its latest product innovations, including:
1.) “Follow Me” Mode – Let Yarbo track and follow you hands-free.
2.) 3,500 lbs pulling capacity
3.) Quick-swap design – Change tracks, antennas, or modules in under 5 minutes.
4.) Halow-powered Data Center – Better connectivity, stronger signal, and more exhaustive coverage.
Whether it’s clearing leaves, trimming lawn edges, or prepping for a summer BBQ, Yarbo is the robotic outdoor companion for every season. The future looks even brighter (and a lot less back-breaking) for yard owners everywhere.
