Elyos AI raises £9.7m Series A led by Blackbird Ventures to scale its trade automation platform.
The Series A round was led by Blackbird Ventures and will support international expansion and product development.
Elyos AI provides artificial intelligence agents designed to automate customer communication, job booking, and operational workflows for the trades and field services sector. Its platform integrates with industry standard systems to help businesses manage inquiries and reduce administrative overhead.
Elyos AI has secured £9.7m in Series A funding to accelerate its product development and expand internationally. The investment round was led by Blackbird Ventures, with additional participation from Y Combinator and Pi Labs.
The capital will be deployed to scale the engineering and go to market teams, deepen integrations with field service management software, and launch new voice and messaging capabilities. Founded in 2023, the company develops front office artificial intelligence agents that handle inbound calls, bookings, and email workflows for trade businesses such as plumbers, electricians, and HVAC operators.
From the founder
"Trades businesses are overwhelmed by calls, emails, and admin – and that friction directly costs them revenue. We’re building AI agents that work like effective front-office staff: answering every call, booking every job, and integrating deeply into the systems trades already use."
Adrian Johnston
Co-founder at Elyos AI
Investor perspective
"Elyos is going after a massive vertical market, and their deep understanding of trades businesses is evident in how well their voice agents perform in the real world. Their growing traction and genuine customer love are powerful signals of product quality and the speed of the product and engineering team. We think Elyos is well positioned to define the AI category for field services and trades."
