Tellia Raises $5M Pre-Seed to Bring Voice AI to Agriculture

Tellia, a voice AI assistant built for agriculture, has raised $5 million in Pre-Seed funding. The round was led by Revent, with participation from Grey Silo Ventures, Fund F, and Jeriko.

What Tellia Does

Tellia turns what field teams say into clean, structured records. The company's voice AI assistant captures input across phone calls, voice notes, texts, WhatsApp, and email, then links that information to the right field, crop, crew, and operation.

The core proposition is the replacement of screen- and form-based data entry. Rather than asking field teams to stop and fill out forms, Tellia works from the communication channels those teams already use, converting spoken or written input into organized agricultural records.

Who Is Behind the Company

Tellia was founded by Coline Labadie de Faÿ (CEO) and Vincent Trastour (CTO). The two met through Entrepreneur First. The company operates from San Francisco and Paris, positioning it to serve agribusiness on both sides of the Atlantic.

Traction Across Two Continents

Tellia's customer base spans the United States and Europe. In the US, the company serves agribusiness including Campos Brothers Farms and Duckhorn wineries. In Europe, its customers include the Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin and KWS Saat.

That mix covers permanent crops, winegrowing, and seed and research organizations — a range of agricultural operations where field-level record keeping matters and where form-based entry has historically been a bottleneck.

Why This Matters for the Category

Agricultural data has long depended on the willingness of field teams to document their work. That documentation is often delayed, incomplete, or disconnected from the specific field, crop, crew, or operation it describes. Tellia's approach targets that gap directly: capture the information at the moment it is spoken, in the channel where it is spoken, and structure it automatically.

The company's dual presence in San Francisco and Paris gives it a footprint in two major agricultural markets. Its customer list already includes operations on both sides of the Atlantic, suggesting the product is being applied across different crop types and regulatory environments.

What Comes Next

With $5 million in Pre-Seed funding led by Revent and backed by Grey Silo Ventures, Fund F, and Jeriko, Tellia has capital to expand its voice AI assistant for agriculture. The company's stated focus remains converting field communication into structured records linked to the right field, crop, crew, and operation — replacing screen- and form-based data entry for agribusiness customers in the US and Europe.

For those tracking early-stage agricultural technology, Tellia represents a bet that the interface to farm data is not a form, but a conversation.
