Tombot
Tombot builds Jennie, a hyper-realistic robotic Labrador puppy designed as a robotic emotional-support animal for seniors with dementia and others who cannot safely care for a live animal. Jennie is covered in touch sensors and responds to voice commands, touch and movement with AI-driven behaviors; a caregiver app customizes behaviors and post-purchase software updates add new behaviors and commands. The company targets treatment of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). As of mid-2026 it reported over 23,000 pre-orders/waitlist sign-ups ahead of a Fall 2026 first customer shipment. NOTE: overturns watchlist prescreen-reject 'not plausibly robot-primary' — the robot companion animal is the company's sole product line, with $13.1M in cited Series A funding to manufacture it.
