Manus closes more than $500M in fresh funding

Manus parent Butterfly Effect has completed a financing round of more than $500 million, according to 36Kr’s October 8 report. Boyu Capital and IDG Capital led the round, with Tencent, HSG and ZhenFund continuing their support; this confirms a closing rather than the fundraising discussions previously reported in September. For teams evaluating agent suppliers, fresh capital strengthens the financing picture, while the cost of failed or incomplete agent work still needs separate acceptance tests and contract terms.
