Allbirds abandons clothes, pivots to “AI compute infrastructure”
  • Allbirds, previously known for sustainable footwear and apparel, has pivoted to become an AI-native cloud solutions provider. The company secured a $50 million financing facility to support this transition.
  • The move comes after Allbirds recently sold its brand and footwear assets to American Exchange Group, highlighting the potential strategic shift in focus from physical goods to technology infrastructure.
