Claims
- [verified]
Raised $250M Series E in August 2025 led by Andreessen Horowitz, doubling valuation to $2.2B
Company announcement and independent tech press agree on the amount, lead investor, and valuation jump ($1.1B pre-round to $2.2B post-round).
- [verified]
Founded in 2017 by Minna Song and Tony Stoyanov (originally as MeetElise), reached unicorn status at its August 2024 Series D
TechCrunch confirms founding year, founders, Cambridge origin story, and the $75M Series D at a $1B valuation.
- [verified]
Total funding raised is roughly $390 to 392M across Series A through E plus a debt facility
TechCrunch put cumulative funding at $140M after the Series D (Aug 2024). Adding the $250M Series E (Aug 2025) totals about $390M, matching Tracxn's independently tallied $392M across 7 rounds.
- [plausible]
Surpassed $200M ARR by June 2026, marking a fifth consecutive year of 100% year-over-year growth
Self-reported by the company via its own press release, with no independent audit of private-company revenue. It is internally consistent with EliseAI's earlier self-reported $100M ARR milestone from mid-2025 (a roughly one-year doubling), but has no third-party financial verification.
- [thin]
Employee headcount around 300+ per the company (Aug 2025), variously reported near 480 to 558 by early-to-mid 2026
The company self-reports only directional growth (150 to 300+ employees between Aug 2024 and Aug 2025) with no exact current count. Third-party LinkedIn-scrape aggregators disagree with each other by roughly 15% for overlapping periods (e.g., 558 vs 482 to 543), so no single figure is authoritative.
- [thin]
Powers about 10% of the U.S. apartment market (Aug 2025), later described as 'one in six apartments' (about 17%) by June 2026
Both figures are self-reported by EliseAI in its own press releases. No independent market-research source (e.g., NMHC, RealPage) corroborating the market-share percentage was found.
- [thin]
OpenAI named EliseAI the only patient-facing Voice AI solution featured in its 'OpenAI for Healthcare' suite
OpenAI does appear to host an EliseAI customer story page (openai.com/index/eliseai-minna-song/, found indexed under the title 'EliseAI improves housing and healthcare efficiency with AI'), but openai.com blocked direct fetch (403), so the specific 'only ... featured' wording could not be independently confirmed from OpenAI's own page, only from EliseAI's retelling of it.
Gaps
- Could not directly access openai.com to independently confirm the exact wording of OpenAI's claim about EliseAI (site returned 403 to automated fetch).
- No independently audited financial statements exist for this private company; all revenue and ARR figures trace back to EliseAI's own announcements.
- Healthcare-side customer counts and deployment scale (number of live practices, patient volume) were not disclosed in any source found.
