In an epic twist of AI meeting apartment drama, New York startup EliseAI is hashing out a $3.7 billion funding round currently led by venture titans Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer Venture Partners. They want $300 million to supercharge their robot minions who answer your landlord, tame wild maintenance requests, and schedule tours like robotic real estate agents programmed by Hermes himself. Founded in 2017, EliseAI not only automates your abysmal rent-repair emails but has also infiltrated healthcare billing chaos. Last August, they snagged $250 million at $2.2 billion valuation, hit $100 million ARR in early 2025, and apparently revolutionized ghosting—oops, automating—tenant communication so well it’s worth billions.
