EliseAI profile

written 2026-10-24

EliseAI automates leasing, maintenance and patient-intake work for landlords and health systems; it raised $350M at a $4B valuation in September 2026.

What EliseAI does

EliseAI, founded in 2017 and based in New York, sells software that automates administrative and operational work for housing and healthcare companies. For landlords the platform automates leasing, resident services, maintenance requests and lease renewals. The company says its platform now powers roughly one in six apartments in the United States and that more than 30 million Americans have interacted with it.[1],[2]

The housing product grew out of chatbots that text, email and answer calls from renters about apartment tours, maintenance requests, lease renewals and delinquencies, handing off to humans where necessary. By 2025 the platform was organized around a CRM, EliseCRM, with tools for triaging and routing repair requests to technicians and an AI-Guided Tours product that lets prospects tour a property without a human guide. Modules are priced as software-as-a-service and come with a dashboard for tracking requests, work orders and renewals.[3],[4]

A separate healthcare business serves specialty physician groups and handles the patient journey from the first inbound call through referrals, scheduling, insurance verification, chart preparation and follow-up. The company first introduced a clinic-focused version of its platform in 2022 and a product called HealthAI in 2023. CEO Minna Song told Fortune the company now handles roughly 5 million calls a month across housing and healthcare combined, and that it works closely with OpenAI to test new voice capabilities at scale.[1],[2],[4],[3]

In September 2026 EliseAI launched Apollo, a single AI agent built into the same platform that runs leasing, maintenance and renewals and intended to complete tasks across every role on a property team. Song said binding decisions such as approving or denying an application, sending a formal notice or signing off on a lease term still go through a person, and that fair-housing responses are drafted by Apollo but not finalized by it.[2],[1]

History

Co-founder and CEO Minna Song met her co-founder, Tony Stoyanov, when both were undergraduates at Cambridge. After graduating, Song moved to New York and took a job as an administrative assistant at a residential real estate firm, where she saw how inefficiencies in messaging tenants and prospects were burning out management teams. She and Stoyanov began building software to automate that communication and founded EliseAI in 2017.[3]

Song told TechCrunch in 2024 that the company trained its models only on data it generated internally, did not buy external data, and treated consumer data as the property of its property-manager customers. She also said the company had not pursued hyper-growth in headcount, preferring controlled hiring and burn. At the time it had around 150 full-time employees in New York.[3]

The company moved into a 109,000-square-foot headquarters in Manhattan's former Tiffany & Co. building on Fifth Avenue in summer 2026 and plans a second engineering hub in San Francisco. It is hiring across New York, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Austin and Toronto. Asked about a public offering in September 2026, Song said the company had no specific timelines.[2]

Funding

In August 2025 the company closed a $250 million Series E led by Andreessen Horowitz, with Bessemer Venture Partners, Sapphire Ventures and Navitas Capital participating. SiliconANGLE, citing Reuters, put the valuation at $2.2 billion; Fortune later confirmed the Series E valued the company at $2.2 billion. Song told AlleyWatch the round brought total funding to $391.9 million and that the company planned to triple its team.[4],[2],[5]

EliseAI said it surpassed $200 million in annual recurring revenue in June 2026, its fifth consecutive year of doubling revenue year over year. A year earlier, around the Series E, it said ARR had passed $100 million.[2],[4],[5]

People

Minna Song is co-founder and CEO; Tony Stoyanov is co-founder. Cathy Gao, a partner at Sapphire Ventures, joined the board with the 2024 Series D. Sameer Dholakia, a partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, is joining the board with the September 2026 round.[3],[2]

Customers and partners

In August 2024 the company said it had more than 350 customers, including 70% of the top 50 rental housing operators in the United States. Its stated share of the U.S. apartment market has risen in each disclosure: 10% at the Series E in August 2025, one in eight by September 2025, and roughly one in six by September 2026. Named competitors in housing include Colleen AI, Funnel, Knock and LeaseHawk; in healthcare, Hyro.[3],[4],[5],[2]
