Tellia raises $5m to make farm data capture as easy as a phone call

Tellia, a voice AI start-up based in San Francisco and Paris, has raised $5 million in pre-seed funding to expand its agricultural data platform in the US and Europe. The company offers a voice-first AI assistant enabling farmers and agronomists to record field data through phone calls, voice notes, and messaging, automatically converting these into structured digital records. Tellia’s solution addresses the challenge of digitizing farm data without adding extra work, replacing traditional notebooks and manual reporting, and is already in use across 400,000 hectares with clients in various agricultural sectors. The new funding will support further expansion and development of Tellia’s AI-powered tools, aiming to make farm software as easy to use as making a phone call.
