Manus Revenue Growth Strong, Early Investors Driving Buyback

2026.06.18 21:20:16

June 18. Agentic AI startup Manus achieved rapid commercialization shortly after its launch. By the end of 2025, the company’s annual recurring revenue (ARR) stood at roughly $100 million, with a total revenue run rate exceeding $125 million. Its month-over-month growth rate topped 20%, earning Manus the title of “the fastest startup to reach $100 million in ARR.” Against this backdrop, Manus’ early investors and Asian stakeholders hold differing perspectives. Asian backers are leaning toward a reverse merger with Meta that adheres to Chinese regulatory requirements, while a buyback financing option is now drawing fresh interest—fueled by Manus’ revenue potential, which is projected to hit nearly $1 billion in 2026. Per two individuals familiar with the matter, Manus’ early Chinese supporters are planning to repurchase the company from Meta at a $2 billion price, an amount Meta originally paid for Manus.
