[Manus Plans to Raise $1 Billion for Buyback and Considers Hong Kong Listing] According to Bloomberg, Manus co-founders are exploring options to meet Beijing's requirements to unwind Meta's acquisition, including raising approximately $1 billion from external investors to buy back the Chinese AI company. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that co-founders Xiao Hong, Ji Yichao, and Zhang Tao are discussing a funding round with a valuation at least matching the $2 billion Meta paid. The founders may contribute personal funds to complete part of the transaction. If pursued, the plan could involve establishing a Chinese joint venture with investors first, followed by a Hong Kong IPO.
