Yarbo, the world’s first year-round intelligent yard robot, has just closed a $27 million Series B funding round, marking a major leap in its mission to transform outdoor maintenance. Backed by both strategic and financial investors, this fresh funding sets Yarbo on a fast track to ramp up global production, fuel innovation, and expand its modular product ecosystem.
From Snowbot to Yard Automation Leader
What started in 2015 as Snowbot—a single-purpose robot built to tackle winter’s toughest chore—has now evolved into Yarbo, a full-scale smart yard robotics brand. Designed for year-round functionality, Yarbo’s signature “1+N” modular system turns one intelligent robot into a multi-tasking outdoor assistant. Whether it’s snow blowing in January, mowing in July, or leaf blowing in October, Yarbo adapts with just a quick module switch.
With over a decade of engineering behind it, Yarbo’s transformation from a seasonal niche product into a household name in outdoor automation shows how far robotic tech has come. And now, thanks to this new funding, the company is ready to scale its production lines and fine-tune its supply chain resilience.
Momentum Builds with Pre-Orders and Global Sales Push
Yarbo isn’t just a concept—it’s a fast-growing business. In 2022, a crowdfunding campaign pulled in over $3.45 million. By 2024, its direct-to-consumer campaign had secured more than 6,000 full-payment pre-orders. Now, the company projects a 4x to 5x jump in sales for 2025, with plans to expand across North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia.
This latest funding round will help Yarbo not only meet rising global demand but also speed up its recruitment efforts, increase liquidity, and lay the groundwork for a future IPO.
Expanding the Robot’s Role: New Trimmer Module and More
In April, Yarbo’s Spring Sale and Trimmer Module launch livestream delivered impressive results—702 units sold, including 284 trimmers, and $850,000 in sales in under two hours. The new Trimmer Module, which handles the hard-to-reach areas that mowers can’t, is now headed into mass production.
But that’s just the beginning. Yarbo is developing even more modules to make outdoor chores a thing of the past—think precision spraying, automated bin transportation, pet waste collection, and even fruit picking. Each new task is handled by simply swapping out the module, not the robot, giving users unmatched flexibility.
A Robotic Yard Companion Built for the Future
Fresh from its successful CES 2025 showcase, Yarbo continues to push the envelope on what a smart yard robot can do. The latest upgrades include:
- Follow Me Mode – Yarbo uses computer vision to follow its owner hands-free.
- 3,500 lbs of towing power – Strong enough to pull firewood, garden carts, and more.
- Quick-Swap Components – Modules, antennas, and tracks can be changed in under 5 minutes.
- Halow Connectivity – A built-in data center enables broader, more reliable signal coverage.
With all-season functionality, intuitive controls, and ever-growing module options, Yarbo isn’t just a product—it’s the future of yard care. Whether you’re tidying up after a storm or prepping for a backyard cookout, this intelligent assistant handles the dirty work so you don’t have to.
