Ellis AI Raises $10M Seed Backed by Top-Tier VC Roster

Ellis AI launched July 30, 2026, with over $10 million in seed funding for an AI agent platform built for private credit workflows. Thrive Capital, Khosla Ventures, First Round Capital, Slow Capital, 645 Ventures, Harlem Capital, and Mellody Hobson all backed the round — a lineup that rarely converges at seed. That concentration signals confidence in AI agents as a lasting financial-services software category.
