Elyos AI, a London-based AI startup building intelligent automation agents for the trades and field services industry, has successfully raised €11.1 million (approx. $13 million) in a Series A funding round to accelerate product development, deepen CRM integrations, and expand internationally in 2026. The company is developing AI agents that act like virtual front-office teams capable of handling inbound calls, booking jobs, managing dispatch, and automating email follow-ups for service businesses such as plumbers, electricians, HVAC professionals, and facilities operators- significantly improving responsiveness and reducing operational overhead in an industry traditionally dependent on manual workflows. This Series A round was led by Blackbird Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator (YC) and Pi Labs, bringing Elyos AI’s total capital raised to roughly €13.7 million. The fresh funding will support scaling the engineering and go-to-market teams, deepening voice, messaging, and email agent capabilities, and expanding the company’s footprint across Europe and North America as demand grows for specialised AI tools that automate customer communications and improve booking efficiency in trades services. The backing from seasoned investors highlights strong confidence in Elyos AI’s vision to define the AI agent category for field services.
