Manus is seeking $500 million in financing to double its valuation to $4 billion, marking its first fundraise since splitting from Meta Platforms Inc.

Manus, a Chinese-founded agentic AI startup, is seeking a $500 million financing round that would double its valuation to $4 billion. If the deal closes, the company would become the most valuable startup in its field within China.

This represents the first fundraising effort for the company since the government of China ordered it to split from Meta Platforms Inc. amid geopolitical tensions. The startup is currently backed by Tencent Holdings Ltd., HSG, and ZhenFund, though the identities of the new investors for this current round have not been disclosed.
