DateStageInvestorsRaisedValuationDeal Summary
Apr 2025Undisclosed stageFluidra (lead); XVC; Borchid Capital; Yunqi Partners; Fosun RZ Capital$100M$370MAiper is a leading player in cordless robotic pool cleaning technology, with global operations, around 470 employees, primary markets in North America and Europe, manufacturing partners in Vietnam and China, and two R&D centers employing over 270 engineers. In April 2025, Aiper announced a $100 million strategic financing round led by Fluidra, with Fluidra acquiring a 27% stake through issuance of new shares; the deal closed in December 2025. Other investors included Borchid Capital, Fosun RZ Capital, XVC, and Yunqi Partners. This marks phase 1 of a two-phase transaction to accelerate innovation, scale operations, broaden Fluidra’s cordless cleaners portfolio, and grow the underpenetrated robotic pool cleaner market (adoption <25% despite 30M pools worldwide). Aiper reported sales of approximately $195 million in 2024, up 75% from the prior year. The partnership leverages Fluidra's global distribution and industrial capabilities with Aiper's agile direct-to-consumer tech approach. Phase 2 involves Fluidra increasing to a majority stake (>51%) via cash or in-kind investment once Aiper achieves revenues exceeding $370 million and EBITDA margins around 15%. The deal had no impact on Fluidra’s 2025 guidance and is accretive to adjusted EPS from 2026.
