Omilia Raises $67 Million Series B as ARR Jumps 10x to $60 Million

1 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Aug 6

Summary

  • $67 million in Series B funding will help Omilia expand its AI customer-support business, with Expedition Growth Capital leading the round and the company’s second fundraise following a $20 million raise in 2020.
  • $60 million in annual recurring revenue and 10x growth since 2020 underpin Omilia’s pitch that mixed AI tools—not just large language models—deliver better unit economics for routine support tasks.
  • U.S. expansion is the immediate priority: Omilia plans a new office, a larger go-to-market team, and senior hires including a chief revenue officer, chief marketing officer and VP of revenue operations.
  • 500 employees today are expected to become 600 by year-end as the Athens-based company pushes further into quick-service restaurants, where Taco Bell already uses its voice-ordering technology in more than 1,000 outlets.
  • Capital One, Discover, RBC, DWP and PSEG are among Omilia’s clients, positioning the 2002-founded company against newer AI support startups such as Sierra, Decagon and Parloa.
