Tombot raises $7m to bring its robotic dog Jennie to market

Tombot has closed a $7 million Series A3 round to scale manufacturing of Jennie, its autonomous robotic Labrador puppy designed as a companion for people with dementia, cognitive impairment, anxiety, loneliness, autism, and PTSD. Investors include healthcare and aging-services backers such as Caduceus Capital Partners and the Lutheran Foundation for Long Term Living. The company reports over 23,000 pre-orders and waitlist sign-ups ahead of a planned Fall 2026 commercial launch — its first shipments to paying customers. Jennie mimics the behavior of an 8-to-10-week-old puppy and is pitched as delivering companionship benefits without the care burden of a live animal.

The Bullseye Model of product velocity

The Bullseye Model reframes software delivery success beyond raw deployment speed. Using an archery metaphor, it argues that teams need both throughput and directional accuracy — consistently moving toward an ideal product-market fit. Speed matters only insofar as it enables faster feedback loops and course correction; excess velocity without feedback is wasteful or harmful. The model also addresses AI-assisted development, warning that increased throughput requires mature deployment pipelines and governance, or gains will be lost to bottlenecks. The real metric is how quickly a team closes the gap between their current product and the ideal one.
