Story summary

EliseAI, an artificial intelligence company focused on automating complex systems in housing and healthcare, announced on September 29, 2026 that it has raised $350 million at a valuation of $4 billion. The financing round was led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Bessemer Venture Partners, with additional backing from Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, Sapphire Ventures, and Navitas Capital. EliseAI plans to use the funds to expand its operations, enhance engineering capabilities in San Francisco as a new hub alongside New York, and boost sales teams across North America.

Housing and healthcare are two of the largest expenses for American households, yet they remain largely underserved by technology. These industries often operate on slim profit margins, face heavy regulation, and require staff to spend significant time on administrative tasks rather than patient or resident care. Founded with the aim of improving efficiency in these sectors, EliseAI offers AI solutions that automate various stages of renting a home and managing healthcare operations, ultimately aiming to make these services more accessible and affordable for consumers.
