倫敦初創公司ethos在a16z領投的a輪融資中籌集2275萬美元，旨在革新專家網絡。該公司由前deepmind研究員daniel mankowitz和james lo創立，利用語音代理進行入職引導，以超越職位標題來映射技能。該初創公司聲稱年收入達到八位數，並向對沖基金和ai實驗室等客戶收取30%以上的費用。
Ethos, a London-based startup founded in 2024 by former DeepMind researcher Daniel Mankowitz and Softbank alum James Lo, raised $22.75 million in a Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) with participation from General Catalyst and XTX Markets. The company aims to disrupt legacy expert networks like GLG and LinkedIn by using voice-powered AI agents to onboard experts, allowing for granular matching based on specific skills and sub-specializations rather than job titles. The platform analyzes voice data, public blogs, and academic papers to answer complex queries, such as identifying doctors who have written specific papers or startup employees backed by certain investors. Ethos reports an eight-figure annualized revenue run rate and currently serves hedge funds, private equity firms, and leading AI labs.
