NEW YORK, April 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yarbo, the world's first year-round multipurpose intelligent yard robot, has successfully closed its Series B funding round, raising approximately $27M USD. The round was backed by a group of strategic and financial investors, bolstering Yarbo's vision of reimagining how the world handles outdoor work – one season at a time.
This fresh injection of capital 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, strengthen liquidity, and push forward with pre-IPO planning as it sets its sights on global expansion and long-term market leadership.
A Decade of Innovation, One Yard at a Time
Founded 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 its 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 $3.45M USD, and by 2024, its own direct-to-consumer full-payment pre-order campaign generated 6,000+ orders. With momentum continuing to build, Yarbo expects 4–5x sales growth in 2025, supported by expansion across North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia.
New Trimmer Module Nears Mass Production
Hot off the back of a successful Spring Sale & Robotic Trimmer Launch livestream in early April – where Yarbo moved 702 total units, including 284 trimmers, and raked in over $850,000 in sales within 2 hours – the new Trimmer Module is fast approaching mass production.
Designed to tackle edges, tight spots, and other areas your mower can't reach, the Trimmer expands Yarbo's spring and summer capabilities, perfectly complementing the Lawn Mower and Blower modules.
Yarbo's modular expansion doesn't stop there. Future modules are in development to cover tasks such as 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 goal? A full-spectrum, "1+N" yard ecosystem that meets every seasonal demand and makes yard work a relic of the past.
The Future of Yard Work Is Modular
After a well-received showcase at CES 2025, Yarbo continues to build on its latest product innovations, including:
- "Follow Me" Mode – Let Yarbo visually track and follow you, hands-free.
- 3,500 lbs pulling capacity – Yes, really. From firewood to garden carts.
- Quick-swap design – Change tracks, antennas or modules in under 5 minutes.
- Halow-powered Data Center – Better connectivity, stronger signal, wider 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.
Interested in trying Yarbo for yourself? We're happy to arrange media test units, product demos, and interviews to showcase just how easy spring yard work can be. Yarbo is actively recruiting distributors in both North America and Europe. For those interested, please email dealer@yarbo.com or visit www.yarbo.com/become-a-dealer.

Yarbo Secures $27M+ Series B Funding to Accelerate Global Growth, Innovation, and Ecosystem Expansion
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The four-day 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2026) concluded in Las Vegas, with BiLight, a global pioneer in flexible perovskite photovoltaic (PV) technology, making a standout debut as a green tech dark horse. Guided by its brand vision of "Energy Equity," the company is driving the global scenario-based adoption of flexible PV technology.
Themed "Defining the Physical Boundaries of AI," this year's CES highlighted the deep integration of green energy and AI as a key trend. BiLight showcased three core product lines at the Las Vegas Convention Center, shattering the inherent perception of traditional PV products as "bulky, rigid, and single-scenario." Among the highlights, the world-premier rollable flexible perovskite solar curtain garnered significant attention, integrating sunshade, heat insulation, and power generation functions to directly supply electricity to home and office devices, reshaping the "PV + Space" application ecosystem. Additionally, the handheld rollable solar product became a hot favorite for outdoor PV applications, thanks to its portability and efficient energy supplementation capabilities. The lithium-free perovskite electronic nameplate set a new benchmark for office innovation: optimized with low-light power generation technology, it can stably supply energy under ordinary indoor lighting. Paired with low-power e-paper display and Bluetooth refresh functions, it achieves "seamless charging and permanent use," addressing the resource waste of traditional paper nameplates and the environmental concerns of lithium-ion battery devices. This innovative solution attracted extensive consultations and negotiations with office equipment manufacturers and purchasers.
BiLight's tech strength sparked cross-industry collaborations. A top energy storage firm discussed joint R&D for "flexible PV + portable storage" to ease outdoor device battery anxiety. Automotive representative SHM explored rollable solar sunroofs and curtain PV for enhanced vehicle endurance. AI hardware firm BleeqUp and satellite companies also engaged, probing applications in smart terminals, space energy, and IoT tracking.
At a TMTPost-hosted roadshow, BiLight Co-Founder James Fang outlined a three-year roadmap: full-scenario coverage across consumer electronics, automotive storage, building-integrated PV, and satellite energy, building a "PV+" ecosystem. This vision and clear strategy strengthened global partners' confidence.
Looking ahead, BiLight will prioritize R&D, deepen global collaborations, and expand flexible PV's reach. Committed to reshaping the global energy landscape, it aims to fulfill its "Energy Equity" promise—making green energy accessible to all.
