Ethos, a London-based startup, has raised a $22.75M Series A led by a16z to build an AI-powered expert network. Unlike traditional platforms like LinkedIn or GLG that rely on job titles, Ethos uses voice-powered onboarding to capture deeper expertise signals across multiple domains. The platform enables complex natural language queries for client matching, such as finding specialists with specific research backgrounds. Ethos claims 35,000 experts are joining weekly, with clients including hedge funds, private equity firms, and AI labs. The company takes a 30%+ per-project fee and is on track for eight-figure annualized revenue with a team of just eight people.
