About Ellis

Ellis is a New York AI-native operations platform for private credit, founded by Cadre founder Ryan Williams with CPO Jason Liao (formerly WeWork and Wonder). It builds a reconciled, source-verifiable data foundation across fund-administrator outputs, loan-servicing systems, general ledgers, bank feeds, regulatory filings and spreadsheet models, then deploys specialised AI agents to take the first pass at recurring work—reconciliation, anomaly detection, LP reporting, SBIC compliance and document intelligence—while humans retain approval on material decisions. Design partners include private credit managers such as Treville Capital Group, and Ellis says it has engaged a broader partner network representing more than $50 billion in cumulative AUM. In July 2026 Ellis emerged from stealth with more than $10 million in seed funding led by First Round Capital, with Kearny Jackson, 645 Ventures, Harlem Capital, Khosla Ventures, Slow Ventures, Wilshire Lane, Westbound, Collide Capital, Gallery Ventures and angels including Mellody Hobson, Josh Kushner and Immad Akhund, to expand the team and deepen workflows across reconciliation, reporting and compliance.
