Congratulations to @immad & the @Mercury team on their $200M Series D!

We first backed @Mercury over 5 years ago, when @plevine, @rajeevdham, @JasonRBrooke & the team believed it would become the defining banking platform for tech founders. Today, with 300k+ customers, including 1 in 3 U.S. startups, they've delivered on that vision.

We're proud to continue the journey alongside them. Read more: https://t.co/VucOCUwMGa

🎉 Congrats to EliseAI co-founders Minna Song (CEO), Tony Stoyanov (CTO) and the entire team on the $75M in Series D and $1B+ valuation!

Nearly half of rental inquiries remain unanswered, and those addressed often face delays exceeding 24 hours, leading to significant financial waste for property owners and time lost for residents.

EliseAI is solving this challenge with its conversational AI platform by automating property workflows and communications with renters throughout their entire journey. EliseAI has now extended its support to the healthcare industry by fully automating non-clinical tasks. 🚀

We’re looking forward to teaming up with fellow investors @NavitasCapital, @p72vc, DivcoWest Ventures, and Koch Real Estate Investments.

Read more about why we’re excited to back EliseAI below, plus coverage from @Kyle_L_Wiggers in @TechCrunch. 👇

Excited to announce our investment in Collectly, who's bringing much-needed innovation to healthcare payments. Welcome @levon_brutyan and the @collectlyapp team! cc @rajeevdham

[Sapphire Ventures @SapphireVC]

We are thrilled to welcome Collectly to our portfolio! 🎉Congratulations to co-founders @levon_brutyan and Max Mizotin and the entire Collectly team on the $29M Series A! 🚀

The healthcare payments system has long been plagued by outdated and inefficient processes. But Collectly is changing this by empowering patients to easily understand and pay their bills, and streamlining financial management for medical groups, hospitals, and health systems. 🚀

We are proud to back Collectly on their mission, and we’re looking forward to working with new and existing investors @ycombinator, @WayfinderVC, Burst Capital, Cabra VC, and DVC.
