Ethos Raises $22.75M Series A

Ethos, a London-based AI expert-matching platform, has announced a $22.75 million Series A funding round. The company focuses on addressing the challenges AI has created in the hiring market by using AI to curate and match experts to various opportunities.

Investors

The Series A funding round was led by Andreessen Horowitz. General Catalyst, which led the seed round in 2024, also participated, along with XTX and Evantic.

Ethos Use of Funds

The capital provides runway to test Ethos's thesis that AI can reshape the labor market by providing better tools for valuing human expertise. The company aims to expand its platform, which matches experts to consulting engagements, expert calls, market research surveys, AI data-labelling projects, and full-time roles, by building AI-driven expert profiles and autonomously matching them to opportunities from its customer base.

About Ethos

Ethos was founded by James Lo (ex-McKinsey, ex-SoftBank Vision Fund) and Daniel Mankowitz (ex-Google DeepMind). The company's mission is to fix what AI has broken about hiring by building an AI-driven expert network. Ethos uses a two-pronged mechanism: a voice agent conducts extended interviews with experts to surface their professional knowledge, and AI ingests their existing portfolios of work to build richer profiles. These combined profiles are then autonomously matched against customer opportunities, spanning various industries and roles from white-collar specialists to skilled tradespeople.
