Yarbo's modular lawn maintenance devices make lawn care a breeze
Yarbo is the world's first multifunctional modular lawn robot, made up of one intelligent core device that powers interchangeable modules that do the hard work. What does that mean for you? Kicking back while your automated Yarbo system mows the lawn, trims the edges and clears away leaves and snow.
The Yarbo Trimmer is its latest innovation and delivers super-precise, consistent results along lawn borders and tight spaces. You can preorder one now, as well as a Yarbo Core, for August shipment.
Also new in? The just dropped Lawn Mower Pro, the newest and coolest robotic lawn mower setup on the block. Best of all, you can preorder it now for a major discount.
Yarbo's whole goal is to take your lawn care to-do list, rip it up and revolutionize all-season yard maintenance with its automatic, modular yard robot system. The company started out in 2015 with Snowbot, inspired by the idea that winter snow removal makes life harder but doesn't have any great technological solutions. Since then, it's expanded its intentions and capabilities with Yarbo, which launched in 2022.
Yarbo's version of the future is one with fully automated yards, which means more time for what matters.
With so many pain points of lawn care swept away with Yarbo's innovations, it's no wonder the company has raised more than $27 million in its recent Series B round. The company's about to use it to scale up in a big way by enhancing its supply chain and production, increasing R&D investment and developing its products. Yarbo will also deepen its partnerships with suppliers and banking institutions this year, enabling it to make its products the best they can be as the company gears up to ship tens of thousands of units in 2025.
Also on the to-do list, thanks to the investments, is to hire top talent, speed up its product development and strengthen its business overall while kicking off pre-IPO planning. Every dollar is being used to develop and secure Yarbo's path forward as the leader in automated lawn care.
Yarbo sets itself apart from the competition with a single vision that drives all of its innovation and strategy. It harnesses cutting-edge technology to tackle real-world challenges in yard maintenance, and the model (and future product development) is constantly reinforced and tweaked by feedback from the customers themselves.
The company also takes a ton of pride in what it's created from scratch, thanks to creativity, robotics know-how and a belief that lawn care can be much easier than it is now. Plus, it's rallied a great team around it with employees who support the company mission and consistently demonstrate intelligence, integrity, resilience and foresight.
Lawn care has always been full of gadgets and gizmos promising life-changing, couldn't-be-simpler results, but that's not what Yarbo is about. Instead, it's making investment-worthy tech that's designed to simplify yard care through its modular smart robotics, not the latest flash-in-the-pan craze.
That means asking real people what they need, whether that's through online messages or onsite visits. Yarbo's team engages with its customers to find out what's working and what can be improved in future product design, essentially making them product managers in the making.
Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro
The Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro attaches to your Yarbo Core to take care of mowing your yard without you having to lift a finger, no matter how damp or thick the yard is. The best part about Yarbo is that its modular construction means the robot can be on hand to help at any time of the year with whatever the seasons demand of it. For the cooler seasons ahead, you can buy components that turn your robotic lawn mower into an autonomous leaf blower or snowblower.
That's not all the brand has coming out, though. You can also preorder August's hot drop now, the Yarbo Trimmer, which is designed to ensure you never have to do that pesky task yourself again.
Yarbo Trimmer
Forget hours spent trimming the edges after a hot few hours spent mowing the lawn. Yarbo's trimmer has an adjustable height and can navigate around gardens and trees for hands-off lawn care from start to finish. Preorder now for August shipment, but keep in mind you'll need the Back Brace Mount (below) to connect it to your Yarbo Core.Yarbo Back Brace Mount
Equipped with a tow hitch and made to connect seamlessly to your robot mower, this mount connects your Yarbo Core with the Trimmer (plus some future attachments Yarbo has up its sleeve).Yarbo Snowblower Bundle
Buy your Yarbo Core and Snowblower in one handy bundle that gets you everything you need to use, charge and store it. Best of all is the physical controller, which looks like a video game controller and makes handling this chore (from inside, where it's warm) so much more fun.Yarbo Blower Module
It'll be fall before you know it, and a leaf blower helps make lawn care so much easier. This module attaches to your existing Yarbo Core to help make clearing paths a breeze. Don't wait to preorder the Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro to score the discounts (and pick up a module for the seasons ahead).

A Sun Valley veteran gives a glimpse into the business world's most exclusive conference
The annual Allen & Co. Sun Valley conference took place this week. The summit brought together executives from all corners of the business world. We caught up with Flowcode CEO Tim Armstrong to discuss. For 16 summers in a row, Tim Armstrong has flown to Sun Valley, Idaho, following the July 4th holiday to attend the annual Allen & Co. Conference. The event brings together some of the most powerful and wealthiest leaders in media, technology, and finance. The longtime tech and advertising executive brokered one of the most famous deals to come out of the summit — the $4.4 billion sale of AOL to Verizon, which began over a casual lunch in 2014. Armstrong is now the CEO of Flowcode, a platform he founded that uses QR codes to fuel customer engagement. Business Insider caught up with Armstrong to discuss some of the hot topics of this year's conference, which kicked off on Tuesday. Artificial intelligence, unsurprisingly, was top of mind for attendees. It was the "1,000-pound gorilla" in "every conversation, every meeting," Armstrong said. "It used to be about media and technology, media and the internet," he said. "There's a third leg of the stool now: media, the internet, and AI." AI is being adopted at a much faster pace than the internet was, he said, and executives and investors swapped ideas about how to best implement the technology. Armstrong, for example, has enforced "TuesdAIs" at Flowcode. On Tuesdays, each department must focus on the technology by implementing new tools and updating processes to incorporate AI. It's "time to paddle out to the next wave," he said. "Paddle hard." Among the media set, sports dominated conversation. It's the "place that can still collect humans together in big audiences for live events," Armstrong said, adding that a similar takeaway had emerged from Cannes earlier this summer. The conference drew attendees from all over the sports world, including the NBA, NFL, and MLB commissioners, team owners like Robert Kraft and Jimmy Haslam, and entrepreneurs like Jeb Terry of venue operator Cosm. Armstrong ended the conference with a somewhat extreme sport of his own: bridge jumping in one of Idaho's many swimming holes.

US hotels offer more careers, face fewer workers
Over the past four years, U.S. hotels have steadily rebuilt their workforce, recovering more than 467,000 jobs lost during the peak of the Covid-19 crisis. By 2024, direct hotel employment exceeded 2.15 million—slightly higher than forecast—and total wages paid surpassed $125 billion. Yet while employment figures continue to rise, the hospitality sector still faces a chronic staffing shortfall that shows little sign of abating. Despite improved recruitment numbers and higher overall compensation, the hotel industry remains under pressure to attract and retain talent. The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) estimates that 2025 will see the sector add over 14,000 direct jobs, bringing total employment to 2.17 million. However, that still lags behind pre-pandemic benchmarks. More concerningly, nearly two-thirds of hoteliers continue to cite staffing as a major challenge, even as demand for travel and accommodation surges. This dual trend—historic career opportunities on the one hand, persistent worker shortages on the other—defines the present and future of hotel employment in the United States. The hospitality industry is experiencing a sustained upswing in demand, driven by increased leisure travel, rising business events, and growing consumer confidence. Yet the labour market has failed to keep pace. Many former hospitality workers exited the industry during the pandemic, seeking jobs in other sectors offering remote work, higher pay, or more stable hours. The result is a limited labour pool for employers who must now compete not only with one another but with a broader range of industries. A December 2024 AHLA-Hireology survey revealed that 64.9% of hoteliers are still experiencing staffing shortages. In response, the sector has embraced new talent acquisition strategies. Nearly half of hotel employers (47.5%) are increasing wages to attract staff, while others are offering flexible scheduling (19.6%) and employee perks such as hotel discounts (13.4%). These strategies are part of a wider trend towards improving the perception of hospitality careers, particularly among younger workers. But filling vacancies remains a persistent hurdle, especially in roles such as housekeeping, food service, and maintenance—positions that are often labour-intensive and less flexible. Despite its staffing challenges, the hotel industry continues to offer one of the most dynamic paths for career growth. According to job search platform Indeed, hotel housekeeping ranks among the top 12 roles in terms of upward mobility, with many workers able to progress into supervisory or management roles within a few years. A significant number of hospitality leaders began their careers on the front lines, highlighting the potential for internal promotion and long-term advancement. In fact, 72.1% of industry professionals surveyed believe that opportunities for career progression are either stronger than ever or have remained steady since the pandemic. The AHLA Foundation plays a central role in developing the industry's talent pipeline. Through targeted recruitment programmes, scholarship funding, and on-the-job training, the Foundation has supported more than 45,000 hospitality workers. Since its creation, it has reinvested nearly $44 million into career development initiatives designed to help employees thrive in hospitality. These efforts are essential not only for individual career growth but also for building a sustainable future for the industry. As the workforce evolves, programmes that foster skills development and career longevity will be critical in addressing long-term employment needs. To address the workforce gap, hotel operators are expanding their efforts beyond traditional hiring practices. Many are partnering with local workforce development agencies, community colleges, and high schools to introduce students and jobseekers to hospitality careers. Others are investing in employer branding and storytelling to highlight the diversity and flexibility of roles available—from front-desk management to culinary arts, marketing, and engineering. Retention remains as important as recruitment. While wage increases help, today's workers are also looking for inclusive workplaces, mental health support, and clear career pathways. Employers that provide structured training, recognition programmes, and leadership development are more likely to retain top talent. Automation and technology also play a role in easing workforce burdens. Hotels are investing in tools that streamline guest services, allowing limited staff to operate more efficiently. However, the personal touch remains integral to the hospitality experience, meaning that human capital will remain at the heart of the industry for years to come. Looking forward, employment in the hotel sector is expected to continue its gradual upward trajectory. Forecasts suggest total compensation in 2025 will exceed $128 billion, a 2.13% increase over the previous year. While this represents real progress, it's clear that solving the workforce puzzle will take more than just time—it will require investment, innovation, and a renewed commitment to people.

Charting the Global Economy: Trump Ramps Up Tariffs Again
US President Donald Trump ramped back up his tariff plans with an eye on copper and Canada, deflating hopes that the administration was dialing back its initial Liberation Day levies first announced in April. Trump said that US imports of copper — a vital component in power networks, plumbing and industrial machinery — will face a 50% duty from Aug. 1. He also threatened a 35% tariff on some Canadian goods and raised the prospect of increasing levies on most other countries, following threats to impose a 50% tariff on Brazil over its domestic political affairs.
