Oosto sold for $125M after $352M funding

Oosto, formerly AnyVision, was sold for $125M to Metropolis, primarily in shares. Despite raising $352M, including $25M from SoftBank, Oosto struggled to commercialize its facial recognition tech, with annual revenue at $10M. The sale was influenced by Eldridge Industries, a shareholder in both companies. Oosto faced reputational issues after reports of its tech being used for surveillance, leading to a rebrand and investor withdrawals, including Microsoft and Bosch.
