Summary
Manus, an AI agent startup, raised more than $500 million in its first funding round since Meta abandoned its acquisition of the company. The round was led by Boyu Capital and IDG Capital, with follow-on investment from existing shareholders Tencent, HSG and ZhenFund, and the post-funding valuation was not disclosed. Chinese regulators had blocked Meta's roughly $2 billion deal, and analysts say Manus must now prove scale, profitability and regulatory alignment.
