Startups & VentureEliseAI, which provides AI tools for health care and housing industries, raised $350M at a $4B valuation, up from $2.2B after raising $250M in August 2025
A $350M round at a $4B valuation for EliseAI—on top of $250M last year—shows capital is still willing to pay up for deep vertical automation in regulated, operationally messy sectors like housing and healthcare. If you sell horizontal AI tooling into these spaces, expect procurement to favor vendors that own the workflow, not just the model.
