London-based Elyos AI has raised £9.7 million ($13 million) in a growth funding round led by Blackbird Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator and Pi Labs. The funding will accelerate development of Elyos’s AI agents designed to answer calls, manage messages, and book jobs for trades and field service businesses, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and fire and security firms.
Founded in 2023, Elyos applies conversational AI to frontline operations, addressing missed calls and administrative overload that directly impact revenue in the trades sector. The company reports early commercial traction across the UK, with customers seeing higher booking rates, faster response times, and reduced operational burden. The new capital will support deeper integrations with job management systems, expanded agent capabilities across voice and messaging, and preparation for international expansion in 2026.
