The AI agent startup is finalizing its first investment round since separating from Meta. Manus is closing a $500 million funding round at a $4 billion valuation, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. This raise follows a regulatory mandate from Beijing that forced the social media company to unwind its $2 billion buyout of the firm.

The new valuation doubles the price of the original acquisition, signaling growing confidence in the business just months after the forced divestiture. The $500 million injection marks the first time the company has secured independent capital since the intervention by Chinese authorities.
