EliseAI
EliseAI is a New York-based artificial intelligence company that builds conversational and agentic AI to automate the routine, high-volume communication work of two administratively heavy industries: rental housing and healthcare. Its assistants answer calls, emails, texts and chats around the clock - scheduling tours, handling maintenance and renewals, collecting rent, and booking patient appointments - so property and clinic teams can focus on people rather than paperwork. Founded in 2017 as MeetElise, the company crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue, serves roughly 70% of the 50 largest U.S. rental housing operators, and reached a $2.2 billion valuation with its 2025 Series E led by Andreessen Horowitz.

Max Wang is the Co-Founder and CTO of Workstream, a San Francisco-based HR and payroll platform built specifically for America's hourly workforce. He co-founded China's AngelList equivalent (VC.CN) in 2011, built it to a 50-person team, then crossed the Pacific to co-build Workstream with Desmond Lim and Lei Xu after a 100-interview discovery sprint revealed that hiring hourly workers was a massive unsolved problem. Today, Workstream serves 4,000+ businesses across 24,000 locations, has raised $118 million, and is deploying AI tools - including VoiceAI - to compress hiring cycles from weeks to hours for restaurants, franchises, and deskless-workforce employers.
