The funding round was led by Blackbird Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator and Pi Labs. With these prominent investors on board, Elyos AI has now raised a total of €13.7 million in venture capital to date.

Skilled trades often struggle with a mountain of administrative tasks—costing both time and money. This is where Elyos steps in: Founded in Y Combinator in 2023, the startup develops AI assistants designed to support tradespeople and facility managers. These digital agents handle customer calls, book appointments, and follow up with clients and wholesalers. By integrating with standard industry software, Elyos fits seamlessly into existing workflows.

According to the company, the solution is already seeing rapid adoption across the UK. Since implementing the AI agents, customers have reported shorter response times and a significant decrease in missed calls. For Blackbird Ventures, this growing reach and high customer satisfaction are strong indicators that Elyos is well-positioned to become the leading AI agent for field services and the trades.

Elyos AI plans to use the new funds to expand its IT and sales teams, deepen integrations with field service CRM systems, and develop new AI capabilities for voice, email, and messaging channels. Furthermore, international expansion is planned starting in 2026.
