Big Tech Has Spent Billions Acquiring AI Smart Home Startups

The pattern is clear: when innovative companies successfully integrate AI into everyday products, tech giants pay billions to acquire them.

Google paid $3.2B for Nest.
Amazon spent $1.2B on Ring.
Generac spent $770M on EcoBee.

Now, a new AI-powered smart home company is following their exact path to acquisition—but is still available to everyday investors at just $1.90 per share.

With proprietary technology that connects window coverings to all major AI ecosystems, this startup has achieved what big tech wants most: seamless AI integration into daily home life.

Over 10 patents, 200% year-over-year growth, and a forecast to 5x revenue this year — this company is moving fast to seize the smart home opportunity.

The acquisition pattern is predictable. The opportunity to get in before it happens is not.

News of the Day

Jobandtalent, a Madrid-based startup that uses AI to match hourly workers with companies, has raised €92 million ($103 million) in a Series F round valuing the firm at €1.3 billion — a sharp drop from its $2.35 billion valuation in 2021. Despite being a down round, the company frames the move as a strategic recalibration amid broader market shifts. Once buoyed by pandemic-driven demand for flexible labour, Jobandtalent now finds itself at a crossroads: caught between growing worker shortages and a slowing Eurozone economy while pushing to integrate AI deeper into its platform. Its new AI recruitment agent “Clara” has already conducted 180,000 interviews, but as the company doubles down on automation, it walks a fine line — promising efficiency and cost savings to clients while betting that AI won’t erode the very jobs it helps fill.
