a16z 投资的 EliseAI 融资 3.5 亿美元，估值翻倍至 40 亿美元

AI startup EliseAI announced on Tuesday that it has raised $350 million at a $4 billion valuation, double what it was worth when it raised its Series E last August. This latest round was co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer Ventures. AI 初创公司 EliseAI 周二宣布，公司已完成 3.5 亿美元融资，估值达到 40 亿美元，是去年 8 月完成 E 轮融资时估值的两倍。本轮融资由 Andreessen Horowitz 和 Bessemer Ventures 共同领投。

EliseAI, founded in 2017, automates administrative and operational work for housing and healthcare companies. It said its software is used by 1 in 6 apartments across the country and announced this summer it passed $200 million in ARR. EliseAI 成立于 2017 年，致力于为住房和医疗保健公司实现行政及运营工作的自动化。该公司表示，全美每 6 套公寓中就有 1 套使用其软件，并于今年夏天宣布其年度经常性收入（ARR）已突破 2 亿美元。

Earlier this month, Elise announced the launch of an AI “teammate” called Apollo that helps with tasks inside the EliseAI platform. “It’s built natively into the same platform that already runs leasing, maintenance, and renewals,” co-founder and CEO Minna Song told TechCrunch. “So it can act across every role on a property team.” 本月初，Elise 发布了一款名为 Apollo 的 AI“队友”，旨在协助处理 EliseAI 平台内的各项任务。联合创始人兼首席执行官 Minna Song 在接受 TechCrunch 采访时表示：“它原生构建于现有的租赁、维护和续约平台之上，因此能够覆盖物业团队中的每一个角色。”

EliseAI also helps automate the patient-related paperwork for specialty physician groups on the healthcare side, “from the first inbound call through referrals, scheduling, insurance verification, chart prep, and follow-up, so nothing falls through the cracks,” she said. 在医疗保健领域，EliseAI 还帮助专业医生团队实现患者相关文书工作的自动化。Song 表示：“从最初的来电咨询到转诊、预约、保险核实、病历准备及后续跟进，系统能确保所有环节万无一失。”

The company has targeted housing and healthcare because they are two of the “largest expenses for American households,” she said. 她指出，公司之所以选择住房和医疗保健领域，是因为这两项是“美国家庭最大的两笔开支”。
