London Startup Elyos AI Raises €11.1M Funding

The round was led by Blackbird Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator and Pi Labs, bringing Elyos AI’s total funding to €13.7 million ($16 million).

Adrian Johnston co-founder of Elyos AI, said, “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.”

Founded in 2023 by Adrian Johnston Philippa Brown and Panos Stravopodis through the Y Combinator programme, Elyos AI develops AI agents for trades and field services businesses. Its platform serves plumbers, electricians, HVAC providers and facilities operators, automating customer communications, booking, dispatch and follow-ups.

The AI agents integrate with industry-standard systems and manage inbound calls, outbound follow-ups, missed calls, and email workflows. This enables businesses to capture more jobs while significantly reducing operational overhead.

Elyos AI says it has seen rapid adoption, with customers reporting higher booking rates, faster response times, and substantial reductions in missed calls after deploying the platform.

“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,” said James Palmer from Blackbird Ventures.

The fresh capital will be used to scale Elyos AI’s engineering and go-to-market teams deepen integrations with leading field-service CRMs, and roll out new AI agent capabilities across voice, email and messaging. The company also plans to expand internationally in 2026.
